We left Market Drayton (and my IPhone charger) at 8:30am. Millstone Guest House was really comfortable and we had a good night's sleep. Patsy provided us with a lovely breakfast to set us up for the day. Just as well - we had 75 miles to cover.
We cycled through gently undulating countryside, finding a delightful tea room in Nantwich, and later we stopped for lunch in Knutsford. This was a lovely ride until we crossed the M62, when it became increasingly busy Eventually we reached the A6 and spent the next 10 miles heading up to the Travelodge at Clayton-le-Woods. Here we met with Malcolm, a walking friend of Ken, who generously made a donation to CM.
We had arranged to meet with Richard (my brother) and he arrived to share a meal with us and kindly relieved us of some our excess baggage. Thanks DB.
We face a climbing day tomorrow, but only 50 or so miles.
Congratulations on the miles you have achieved so far! Trust you will be checking out the local beers at the 'Horse and Farrier' when you arrive at Burton in Lonsdale!! You will need a beer after the climb today... xx
ReplyDeleteColin and fellow cyclists - a huge well done from me. We had a tea stop in Nantwich too! Colin - perhaps we should have talked about packing - Good luck and happy climbing around Lonsdale!
