Day 6 - Middlewich to Lancaster

07:28 am: Just a few minutes before we have to load up the support van (or risk incurring the wrath of Lisa and/or Clare) to tell you a bit about today. By the way, we didn't get bladdered last night, we were all just too darn tired to add any more to yesterday's post...

I'm feeling pretty good this morning, a bit of an ache in the legs but far less than I was expecting by this stage. Swapping my clip-in pedals for flats yesterday gave my knees a bit of a break from the twisting action of frequent clipping in & out at our various stops, so that's helped - I'll probably go back to the clip-ins tomorrow when things start getting tough again.

Today, however, shouldn't be too bad. Lancaster's approx 70 miles away (according to Google Maps) and it looks pretty flat. The weather, so far, seems ok - dry, at least. We have a guest rider today in the shape of Tom Devine, Vodafone's Head of Consumer Sales. No-one really knows what his cycling ability is, but as he's planning to join us for the next two days we have to assume that his confidence comes from somewhere!!

Whatever Tom's ability, I suspect it's going to be a long day....
