Today was a marathon of a stage, by the close of play the boys had notched up 96 miles. Thankfully the stage was relatively flat, if wet.
The route saw the team cycle through the best county in the UK - Cheshire! and the passed through my birthplace Nantwich.
The first 20 miles were done in absolute torrential downpours. Steve commented that they found the best cycle paths in Shrewsbury, maybe he meant psychopaths ? but that Nantwich has the worst road signs hence the mileage increased slightly as they went round and round in circles. You'll never leave..................
Although it stopped raining in Market Drayton for 2 minutes today was quite a wet stage. However rain makes for lush green grass in Cheshire the county of the dairy farmer, so you can't have it both ways and the people are very friendly !
They safely arrived at their digs for the night at around 630pm for a well earned pint.
