Further to my ride report of the Brian Chapman (619k bike ride the length of Wales & back, or 470k bike ride + v expensive taxi if you're me): photos!. Featuring me looking v silly in bike kit, & lots of pictures of Wales being pretty.

Things I would never have seen without audaxing: Welsh hills at sunrise.

You manage to look remarkably cheerful in those...

That's because they were taken during the first 350k, before I started crying & falling over & so on :-)

I remember feeling v cheerful indeed at Harlech, because the ride along the coast was fast & the sun setting was beautiful, & then Harlech Castle just suddenly APPEARED around a corner, with the sun setting behind it & I thought how enormously fortunate I was to be riding my lovely bike in such a beautiful place.

I really did see an owl fly over just after that photo was taken. It had its dinner in its beak.
