Uneventful ride home from frodsham and the rain had died off.
James was really having problems with his thighs and later told me that he really was thinking about giving in. He doesn't let such things out lightly so it must have been serious.
Lovely to see the family again.
We went off to Iain and Steve's birthday party and had a fantastic evening. Thanks to Emma and Lynn for organising it. Iain and Steve are joining us for the first few miles today so it'll be a proper pelaton.
Not sure the copious amounts of Marstons and Speckled Hen were the ideal preparation for our 70 miles to Ludlow today.
James has gone off to the Bike Factory (superb place) to get some proper cycling shoes with cleats etc, SPDs I think they're called, in the hope that they may be more efficient for pedalling and stop his leg trauma.
Very late start (10.30 already) so it's going to be a long day. james said he thinks we should have built in a rest day and at least the late start is a bit easier.

Hope our boys can keep going and am keen to know that they have arrived in Ludlow which I hope is still there given the horrendous flooding down south. My mum, Trudy (82), had come up for the day to see us, and I'd printed off Ish's opus so that she could have a read. It took her an hour as she read it so thoroughly and found it "an excellent work". Well played Ish. Hope the leg/ rest of your body James, can keep functioning.
