Penistone
Miles
covered 46.5
Miles
covered from the start 78.6
They awake to rain, and found their bikes out side
the main entrance, the staff took it apparently on
themselves to move the bikes, so they could clean
a room, it's a good job they didn't have to walk
from that moment onwards & some lucky jokers could
of been riding around Sale on some smart
Cannondale's. Breakfast was in Didsbury village at
the 'Time for tea' cafe. A dozen wrong turnings,
trying to work out the route they reached the Sun
inn at Hadfield, a quick pint of Guinness and on
there way to cafe Royston for a well eared fry-up.
Now the big push over the Woodhead pass.
At the top,
the mist, rain & lightening came down but they
were well prepared. Dropping down on to the Don
valley trail the weather turned very bad, heavy
rain, thunder and lighting. The nights pit-stop
was the vicarage B/B in Penninstone. An odd
Chinese's meal for tea, where they didn't do
'pancake rolls' followed by a couple of Guinness
and the odd brandy to warm them up. £5 pound bet
it would stop raining the next day.
Day three 'Overcast'.
