day 17

Today we cycled 80 miles from Mathry to Taliesin, Machynlleth. We started at 8:30 as it was a long way and cycled 30 miles to Cardigan were we had our second breakfast. After that it started to get hot and sunny so we put on sun cream and roll down the arm and leggings. As we were going we came across a farm yard with lots of different types of birds like turkeys of peacocks all roaming freely. After crossing over a ford and up a big hill we eventually came into Aberaeron were after a nice lunch there we looked for sweets to stock up on yay! We bought sherbot lemos and they sweets and then cycled on for a long time to Aberystwyth up some really long hills and coming down one we managed to get up to 43 miles per hour!( new record) So at Aberystwyth we found the special train to take us to the top of the hill and save us one climb. At the top there was a big cafe which we had a snack and break at. After this we set off along a coastal path(groan) and as usual it we want nice with steep down hill, gravel and bumpy. At the bottom of the hill we cycled 8 miles to Taliewsin. And that was the end of today. Also last note sorry about not posting yesterdays as there was no WiFi at the time.
