Day Six

Tarporley to Hereford -  Well, after we ended up getting a 12inch steak Subway last night, being the only place we could have got anything, it was up at a reasonable hour with Bran Flakes for Breakfast and sausage baps from the local coop store.  We then drove from the Hotel back to Tarporley for the start of the day with the 92 miles from Tarporley to Whitchurch. From there to Shrewsbury, Ludlow, Leominster and finally finishing 2.6 miles south of Hereford on the A49 ready for tomorrow.  The journey was uneventful and the weather forecast for the day was sunny and clear.  They didn't mention the downpour just as we were passing through  Shrewsbury getting absolutely soaked but after all what we all went through earlier in the trip whats a bit of rain.
The run today really went well with an average speed of 18mph which resulted in doing 92 miles in 5 hours the quickest trip yet finishing at the Hotel by 4.40. Traffic going through Craven Arms was appalling for vehicles but for a bike it meant that the support vehicle was beaten to Ludlow - beaten to Leominster and was only just in front of the bike for the Hotel in Hereford.  Felt great.  For everyone's note there may be a possibility that sometime between 06.00 and 08.00 I will be on the Anneka Rice Show on BBC Radio 2 - we were mentioned last Saturday but we are to be contacted this Saturday.  Problem we have is the signal for our phone is non existent in the rooms so we have to sit in the van from 0600.
