Coventry Way 40 Mile Run: Goopy Mud, The Predator & Gigantic Gnomes

“The wettest March in 40 years. The trails were a mudfest. It was Glastonbury without the portaloos and hippies. Mississippi mud pie without the edibility. Peppa Pig would be in heaven.”

King Alfred’s Way!

247 miles cycled! Sand, gravel, flint, chalk, mud of various colours and densities and a LOT of snacks!

We stopped to help find mobile phones, cycled past skulls and hagstones, potholes filled with bricks, perfect summer evenings, spooky tree avenues where shadows flashed and danced at night, we cycled very fast past the reaper, we passed Stonehenge, Avebury Stone Circle, multiple hill forts, castles and cathedrals.

When can I do it again? #kaw #cycling #trails
