We were joined today by our good friend Paul who travelled up just to punish himself for something so trivial that even he probably doesn't know what it was. Paul showed up at the end of Thursday all keen and ready to go. Sounds like he didn't get much sleep with the anticipation of the next day.
Our day started with a somewhat usual McD on a very fresh morning. Once filled we headed for our ride through Shrewsbury. What a great start to the day.
And yes, this really is the picture I took this morning. Bet you wish you were here.
Our trip onwards to Wem took in some fantastic scenery and country lanes. And very fast riding roads too in the still cool morning. Our lunchtime arrived just outside Chester at a place near Tattenhall called Home Farm where they had a shop and cafe. Very good a worth stopping by.
We followed the canal path into Chester to break up the route a little. All was working out well until we found the path closed due to a wall collapse. It took some working out to find a new route.
Our trip onwards to Widnes was perhaps the lowest point of the trip with our need to continue to follow cycle routes. We followed route 5 simply to avoid the high volumes of traffic in this part of the country. This made for slow going and my grumps of no pictures for the end of the day. Importantly, we did it arriving in Widnes after a long day in the sun.
