Big day today meeting the families in Chester, and friends Steve and Mark coming to Clun to ride with us for the day.
A good nights sleep, no snoring from anyone, self catered breakfast with a Danish family. Met the boys and good to see them. The ride via Shrewsbury was a bit all over the place. Following the little roads got lost a bit but then found ourselves, sound very religious?
When we got the bit done over the top out of Clun the ride was pretty good - a bit up and down and some climbs around the Long Mynd - but no getting off, just use the granny gears, and some flapjacks cooked by Steves wife Catherine
We arrived at Ellesmere for lunch at 3.30 very hot and ready for food, first mistake was to order a beer and some grub, the grub was good but the beer went straight to my head.
Said goodbye to the boys as they headed home to stone and made our way to Chester on some fast going roads covering the miles quickly, got lost when the CTC route didnt match the maps and made our own route, this happens a lot make it more of an adventure. Arrived in Chester in time to meet the family, emotional time but great to see them, had a meal lots to talk about not enough time and it would have been easy to have gone back home with them. Said our goodbyes, and headed back feeling down and up to the B&B for a good nights sleep
