We were expecting a wet day but it was cloudy with bright periods in the afternoon.
Once again no major climbs - very few narrow roads - a cross wind backing to a tail wind to assist us on the final stretch.
Jon wanted to cycle with rest of the group, probably to make up for missing dinner last night.
I made the mistake of pushing on myself and arriving 2 hours before the Hotel opened but as always the campsite was open and I sat down and had a cup of tea and a chat with Steve (from Bike adventures) and also had the opportunity to wash my bike.
I have noticed that Keith and Mark are getting faster every day, however, it is not a race and the important thing is to finish the stage at a speed which enables you to do the same again tommorrow.
All riders have completed the distance today in very good time.
Started in Shropshire through Gloucestershire and finished in Cheshire.
