Day 3: Tiverton -> Bristol

A bit of a slog - 70 miles total with at least 40 of those on the very busy A38 into Bristol. Relatively flat apart from a couple of tough climbs on the south of the Mendip Hills. Rained on and off all day but I ducked the worst of it in one of Somerset's fine public houses.

It was great to catch up with Owen, who put me up for the night. He showed me round his exhibition, studio space and a local social enterprise called the Bristol Bike Project, where we fixed a puncture I picked up en route. I had my first go on a tandem and tried out a double height bike - there's a good vid, but it won't let me upload from my phone... if you google 'tall bike' you'll get the idea.
