Yesterday was an enormous effort, after setting off from Tewkesbury at 7 o’clock, yes that time in the morning does exist, I checked on Google, the guys managed an impressive 140 miles and arrived at Ramsbottom at 6 o’clock (in the evening, they haven't achieved time travel speed just yet).
Although they managed a great effort, the day didn't go without a hitch, as the bearings in Alans bottom bracket (no comments please) failed on the way so they had to limp to Manchester, where it was mended by the wonderful people at the world famous Harry Halls cycles, free of charge. (Obviously when I say world famous, those are Alans words)

You did it Al- fantastic!! In record time too. Next stop Tour de France? Thanks Rick for keeping Al company for most of the journey- it wasn't the smelly yellow jersey that Al seemed to wear everyday that made you turn back was it?!
