Monday, and many thanks to Angela and Ralph, Francine and Brian, and Christine and Ian for saving me from four nights in hotels. I enjoyed the good food after mediocre to horrible hotel food.
I left Birkenhead in cooler, damper weather and had an easy ride into Chester, where I stopped for a picnic in the park.
I faced some horrible hills towards the end of the ride, which wore me out. I then had problems finding a hotel, but eventually reached the Dodington Lodge Hotel in Whitchurch, after riding 45 miles.
Bath, sleep, then pub meal and an early night.
