From Chorley to Sandbach and rest day
Nothing much to report from the fifth day of cycling. We managed 54 miles from near Chorley to Char's step-mum, Ellie's, home in Sandbach, Cheshire. The journey was fairly flat but the route we took involved a couple of stretches of busy primary roads that were, at times, a bit intimidating but we're slowly getting used to our bikes and cycling safely with traffic. We stayed the night in Sanbach and took a rest day for Char to spend a bit of time with her brother, Will, who she's not seen for a while.
Many thanks to Ellie and Will for feeding and entertaining us for our time in Sandbach and for putting up with the initial stench of us walking through the door!
Before I forget forever, Chris delivered on his promise that he would fall off his bike due to wearing clip in shoes for the first time. Not only that but he managed it three times in one day (day 3)...once right in the centre of town for all the people of Penrith to have a good chuckle at his expense!
Off to have some home-made pizza at Ellie's Italian Cafe, Fragola's, in Sandbach.
Peace out for now.
