Departing the John Smith’s Stadium at 8am this morning, the 85 cyclists set off on their 23.5-mile ride to their first stop of the day for a drink break in Glossop. Along the way, views of the Peak District and Derbyshire were to be admired as our P4P11 cyclists enjoyed the scenic route.

They then set off for a further 24.5 miles to lunch at Pomeroy Farm and Caravan Park – where Dean and Janet Hoyle were on the BBQ serving bacon and sausage sandwiches for the riders.
With one more drink stop scheduled at the 75-mile point, the cyclists then made their way there and then to the hotel for the night, for a well-deserved shower and rest.
Tomorrow, the cyclists will be out again as they make the trip to Worcester.
