A short hop today of a mere 53 miles from Hereford to Shrewsbury! Upon getting up it is obvious that this is going to be a tough one as the rain is coming down in torrents! Todays wearer of the lejog thong was Dave for his non stop singing, banter, game playing & general positive spirits! Viv was awarded the navigators award for her fab efforts through Bristol.
Only complaint so far was from Dave, who wanted to stop in a small village where he spotted 'Richard's bike shop' only for the girls to blow him out! Perhaps it was the tumble weeds & window boards on the shop front that put them off! More later when we finally hit the road!
The day is done with all finishing what was one of the wettest days on the bike they will ever have. (until tomorrow anyway!) The support teams newspapers were quickly aquired & used to provide insulation as the temperature reached single figures! Debbie & Alison said they would only use red top papers as nothing else would match their outfits, while Alistair resorted to full winter kit!
Today was also a swap day for the support crew with coach John being replaced by Stuart '1 & done' Prentice, to bring some fresh blood to the team, Big John Salmons being the constant in this.
An early finish today ensured spirits remain high as the group passed the 300 mile mark & rapidly approach the border. Alister is now sleeping in his Assos shorts they are THAT comfy, Angela is now getting into her groove, or at least her saddle is according to John & Dave is asking where the disco's are! So things are going well!
