Day 185

Santa comes early

All the way back on Day 2 coming through Hull we met a dad and daughter who were cycle touring, heading north. As well as the essential advice of where to buy sausage rolls, they suggested a great place to buy a new bike! Just the sort of folk we like too meet on the road!

On Day 20, we called in to Oxford Bike Works and after chatting with the owner, Richard, we knew this was the place to build a bike to fit Too Tall Tom.

On Day 185 new bike day had arrived. It's still black, still has the same high-rise riding position, same Brooks saddle, just one major change... The gears.

Tom is joining me and will be using a Rohloff 14 speed hub!

Let the touring re-commence!
