Really getting into this long haul cycling malarkey. The ride is getting really pleasant now, flat (ish) roads, great weather, very nice views.
Started the day replacing Jon's tyres. Strange how his tyre repairing led to an immediate puncture! Stopped at the cycle shop for gel seat pack for Cleve, of which they didn't have any, so they supplied some home-made polystyrene bottom pad & sold him some padded underwear. All 3 of us as are suffering with saddle soreness!
Kiddermister, Bridgenorth, Shrewsbury and Whitchurch all very pleasant but quite uneventful (which is a good thing). We just churned the miles and admired the properties that give us a glimpse into how the other half live!
Seeing signs to Crewe, Manchester and even Leeds was both rewarding and strange. Rewarding as it shows how far up the country we have come and strange as we we're closer to home (own bed, nice seat, creature comforts ........ Oops I digress!).
We finally arrived into Warrington with the Friday evening traffic, the Paddington Hotel in Warrington were very accommodating, providing us a safe lock up for the bikes and free breakfast for us all (thanks). Also want to thank the staff and guests at the Paddington for their best wishes and donations.
