LEJOG Day 4 - Where are you lads going?

First we had to extract our bikes and bags from the hotel. This proved to be a little tricky given the very narrow stairs and door ways. We found a way...

We rode through Shropshire into Cheshire and stopped for coffee at Delamere Forest. A cappuccino in this part of the world is called tea.

We were a bit disappointed that the rest of the ride would be quite unremarkable from a scenery point of view to say the least. We crossed over the ship canal that connects Liverpool and Manchester and we now had a real sense that we were heading towards the north of England.

While on the bridge a number of the locals were curious as to what these pretty boys were doing. We had a very nice chat to a gentleman who very enthusiastically asked "where are you lads going?" What was meant to be a 2 minute photo stop turned out to be somewhat longer as we were entertainment for the very friendly and welcoming locals.

We rode through Warrington, Wigan and Preston. If we could have ridden faster we would have as there is nothing noteworthy to see.

Health issues seemed to be under control so we could enjoy the sumptuous refuelling at lunch.

After lunch it was heads down and a big pull into Lancaster. We made it in time to reach a bike shop for some adjustments followed by a well earned beer.
