June 28th - Market Drayton - Knutsford

Had a 7am breakfast and on the road by 7.50am. Almost immediatally got lost but no one to ask as everybody still in bed! Much easier cycling as relatively flat - however this means that ones bottom becomes number quicker as when it is hilly one can free-wheel down the hill and relieve the pressure on ones posterior!
Funny world.
Had coffee in Middlewich - two young builders on roof opposite immediately engaged us in conversation about our tandem. They were keen mountain bikers; there is a kind of camaraderie when one meets other cyclists. Quality of coffee and cake excellect. We have been amazed at the quality of small cafes in the town where we have stopped. Had to do some cycling on 'A' roads- people seem to misjudge the length of the tandem and cut in too soon. About 20 miles from Knutsford - we saw it signposted - a great cheer from us both, as looking forward to seeing Clare and family.
Arrived 12.45pm and have been resting, eating, drinking and sleeping. A great place for a bit of TLC.
