Well. That was interesting.
Had a great night guys. Sorry we had a closed, fenced off road. Still getting the mud out of my cleats from the field! Shame we lost two at S'port to make thier own way back but understandable. The rest of us set off at a good lick but Martin found the pace a bit much (no surprise. first century. at night. very cold) and wanted to go back alone. We split the group again and I stayed with Martin. Easy for everyone else to find the way back to Mcr as we were only a few miles from the A570 i thought. I really hope you all got back OK? The directions I gave we as per the road map but I found the priorities were different when I followed you and there should have been an extra left turn. I did ring Cheshire Celt and Markymark but to no avail. My apologies. When Martin and I got to the A580 we stopped for a drink and as we set off his chain snapped and he sensibly decided to ring for a taxi. So I cycled the last 20 odd miles by myself. Not prepared to tackle the A580 alone, I had to use the crap, crap cycle farcilities - 8-10 mph average moving speed, raised kerbs, mud, slime, puddles, glass, leaves+++, lots of give ways. Bike looks like it's been sprayed with mud and how I didn't pick up a p******e I don't know!
Anyway, who's organising the next ride?
