Squeaky Wheels the Rationale

Team Squeaky Wheels came together by accident following a drunken conversation about the possibility of riding from Lands End to John O'Groats. The result was the accumulation of a quarter of a millenniums worth of accumulated wit and (arguably) wisdom in the guise of Jeff, Tim, Don and Michael. To give us all an incentive to accomplish this route we decided to make the journey a sponsored ride for McMillan Cancer Support, and run this Blog for our friends and supporters. Hopefully we will provide daily reports of our progress and events during the ride. These may become more terse as exhaustion and saddle sores kick in. So watch this space.

Day 6

Easy flat ride for the first 22 miles, quick coffee in Stone and then gentle Climbing to lunch at Oakmoor. Some of the party needed recovery time and encouragement as featured in the photograph taken in the Admiral's Arms. Climb out of Oakmoor ghastly, but views from the top wonderful. Lovely gentle ride along the Manifold Trail and to the Darbyshire border. Now serious climbing but great views, one also shown below. Now in Youlgreave in the Dales and the serious moors tomorrow. Finally our fulsome thanks to Rebbeca at the Hulme End Railway Cafe who generously donated the cost of our portions of delicious treacle tart and tea to the cause. True kindness and deservedly got a hug see below.
