Day 8

The final day of the Sarn Helen.

It felt a bit strange getting up today knowing that it was our last day of our journey down Wales. Nether the less, we went on with our daily routine of breaskfast and sorting the bikes. The sky looked black...very black and it looked like we were going to get a very wet last day!

My gave us our daily treats...our last ones :( On with our waterproofs and off we set out of the campsite. Straight away, before I even got out of the campsite I had a puncture...,my 3rd of the trip. Might I add at this point, Ive only ever had ONE puncture IN TOTAL of all my mountain bike riding before this trip!!! Soon enough the puncture was sorted....and the rain started.

Today was spent riding on roads, but the first section was all on the cycle path along the coast of Swansea and along to the pier of Mumbles. We decided to stop here for a brew and a bacon sannie....it wass amazing and great to sit in a warm cosy cafe whilst it was peeing it down on our bikes left outside. After an hour of drinking tea we thought it was probably about time to head back out on the bikes. The last section on road seemed to just fly by and once we had pasted signs for Port Enion we knew we were really close to the end and smiles started to appear on our faces.

We waited at the visitors centre at Rhosili for mum to arrive to head over to worms head together. We rode along the track, smiles brimming from ear to ear knowing we had completed our ride :) Hugs, kisses and hands held high, we had completed our ride!!!!

The feeling was a little odd. Both of us wanted to do this ride for quite a while now and had been planning for a while....all of a sudden it was over!! A fantastic ride...I would reccomend it to anyone.

Stats of the ride for those of you who want them will follow shortly once we get the days info for when the cycle computer broke. But until the next adventure ....................
