A rude awakening for the first dry run (not so dry) as support vehicle to Dave. Bike ride from Rugeley to Flint along The Cut.
At 30k still raining and we wait for Dave to arrive at Norbury Junction' wet, muddy and freezing but spot on time at 6.30 am.
Daylight at Bridge Inn and the rain stopped. Dave decides to change his bike in the hope of a more comfortable ride. I brew him a nice cuppa and he's off again.
We will find out in another 30k if the change in bike helped.
Dave did not look happy, I reckon these canal tow paths are hard work. More coffee provided and away we go again.
End of the road, Flint 2pm. The wind picked up but the sun shone. All I have to do now is get them home safely.
Human Wilfrid never had the support I gave Dave on his bike rides to Wales but neither did he ride along canal tow paths.
I did get to drive over a great bridge on the way home. Also the largest solar panel farm I have ever seen.
Apparently 180,000 panels powering 11,000 homes. I bet Dave wished he had some of that energy for his bike ride.
