So much to tell but not enough time to give it justice. Snow, hail, icy winds, a blizzard and sunshine. Arguments over the route as we head down more country lanes, takiing a chance by going down a very steep hill where a sign said Road Closed meant we passed 5 bikes over a 6ft fence. Seth fell off his bike again (twice). He also got lost; He is American & has a credit card that does’t work, no cash, no phone, none of our numbers and a vague recollection of where we were heading. Seth arrived as we had just eaten a quick Sunday lunch and going out of the door. He then proceeded to run over a grass snake.
Many more tales to tell but the day ended well as it was great to meet up with th families at Ross for a meal. One of the girls had kindly sorted a welcome massage out (if it’s good enough for Shearer).
Key stats for today 104.4miles, 8hrs 46mins in the sadde, 8000 calories burnt. 11.9mph avge speed. 5016ft of vertical climb. Time for bed, Nantwich tommorrow.

Great to meet you all last night, loved to hear all the “tales of the unexpected” would have paid money to see Andy running across the wet busy road in his slippy shoes to get bags of jelly beans for the lads, and Pat finding it all very irrelevant and shouting at him to get back on the bike quickly and start peddling fast!
Great blog. Sounds like there’s been an equal amount of tears of joy and pain.
Well done guys on raising the £15k! Everyone is thinking of you.
All the best
