Day 5 – Shrewsbury to Preston
Long and busy day of
cycling from Shrewsbury, through Warrington and Wigan town centres with a lot
of traffic, and then on to Preston. The natives were a lot more vocal as the
teams headed north, with a variety of abuse (from both sides)
Four distinct cycling groups have now formed:
The need for speed – Tom and Adam. Loving the hills and out
at the front. Every time we mention a hill Tom just goes "awesome". On day 3 he proclaimed in the morning. "I've never cycled on the flat before" A lot of dirty looks from around the breakfast table followed!
Warwick – now cycling on his own – he just gets his head
down and goes. and is now challenging the quick biys for getting back early Mr consistent but his sense of direction can leave a bit to be
desired.
Then comes the collectively known ‘vets’. Paul – the
pacemaker, Jason, Ian, Gareth, Cormac, Angela and Dan.
And finally, the self named ‘Team Tortoise’ slow and steady
but always in great spirits at all the stops – Sinead, Paulo, Richard and
Felix.
