Yesterday's ride completed the halfway stage of the challenge!
Anyways, I got to Flint nice and early, got the photograph taken at Jade Jones postbox, which is just round the corner from Jade Jones Pavilion (they're quite proud of the girl up there it seems)...
From there I rode up what they call Flint Mountain, but I'm sure it's not a real one, and back down into Wrexham a couple of hours later, finding Tom James's box nice and easily...
From there it was a small matter of 50miles to Stafford, where I was being met at the train station for a list to Rugely where there's a TCAA charity shop. They'd rounded up their volunteers and we did a little photo session, which I'll share a link to when I can (pics aren't on my phone) before donating some money and giving me a very lovely little miner's lamp as a memento. Then taking me to the pub for a couple of beers and some time chatting. Really great group, and very much appreciated.
Today's ride looks like fun, from here to Bedworth solo then meeting up with a TCAA employee and her other half and riding in to Stratford-on-Avon to see Di (the lady behind the video) and hopefully rest and recover well!
Hopefully tonight I won't be completely shattered so will be able to do the blog then, but if not we'll have to wait til morning. Enjoy your Easter everybody, hope you have a good day.
