A huge day today, 85 miles over the Wrekin, Shropshire and the Cheshire plain. Not much climbing, but the last few miles through Warrington and Wigan were hard going.
I was extremely grateful to find that the road over the Wrekin didn't actually go all the way to the mast. I was the last up it by far, but not the last in at 5.00. My knees are giving grief, but I haven't applied any anti-inflammatories. I'm not exactly dancing up the hills.
Tomorrow to Kirkby Lonsdale is shorter, about 68 miles with lots of big hill climbing, including Winter Hill to start, so it's a bit scary. I'm beginning to think I might make it. I might even allow myself a pint tonight. Tomorrow will take us nearly half way with much of the tough stuff behind.
