Day 4 - Great Chishill to Felixstowe

As there were only 70 miles to ride today we treated ourselves to the full English breakfast and set off a bit later than usual.  Having eaten well last night it might well have been a bit too much as both of us could only just eat it all.

For a change we set off under blue skies and it was warm enough to wear short sleeves - welcome back to sunny East Anglia! We set off at a brisk pace and were soon passing Audley End House where we stopped for a photo opportunity.

We sped on through Essex and into Suffolk in what seemed like hardly any time at all. By 12.30 we were back on some familiar roads that we use on our Sunday rides and stopped for lunch at Kersey Mill near Hadleigh.  Suitably refreshed we pushed on and just before 3.00 we rolled onto the seafront in Felixstowe. 

We quickly dipped our wheels in the sea from the slipway before riding up to the Cliff Road car park where we were greeted by our cheering wives, children and friends.  It was a great feeling to have completed the ride and it was great to see our families again.  We were then plied with some beer, coffee/tea, chocolate cake and scones.  It was a lovely end to our adventure.

In the coming days I'll add some more photos that Roger took along the way and will post some thoughts on how we though it went overall.  For now though that's it.  Thanks for reading.
