It's a fine day, I'm out at 8am (bodyclock) - 9am BST- and down to the County Officers to pick up the ghost squad: "We're doing an east/west meander today on lane revision." "Lead on McDuff."
Into the local lanes to warm up before having a look at Delamere Forest - nice. Through Norley to Hartford and Whitegate, keeping away from the not so nice. It's far enough east so turn for Cotebrook and head for Churton against a stiffening breeze and the average dropping towards 15mph. Churton's the westerly point and the wind's on the tail through Chowley and Tattenhall on the way to Bunbury. Between Beeston and Bunbury there's lots of Cheshire Cat riders heading the other way to Malpas but we take in Spurstow and Peckforton before lunch at Jax in Bulkeley - only 35 miles to go.
Up hill to Brunty Bank and then gloriously downhill all the way to Wrenbury and the average creeps back up. A short detour into Sound Heath hits the most southerly point and then Nantwich, Wettenhall and Tiverton get us on to route one and home. 104.2 miles at 14.9mph - blast that westerley!
