Bradford route - Day 1 - Bradford to Sheffield

Jack's back (most of us have vests like this)

Our send off this morning in Bradford was well attended. Some of us were interviewed by BBC Leeds, BCB Radio of Bradford, and Alice, a student from Leeds Uni. The Lord Mayor was also there, to interview Mary, celebrating her 80th birthday.

The entourage arrived in Sheffield after a fairly event free journey that took approximately 7 hours. The weather was fine, with a slight tail wind, and there was only 1 puncture today. We met up with one of tomorrow's riders, Ruth on the edge of Sheffield and then enjoyed the company of our hosts at the Lescar Pub. The local Friends Of The Earth people who are putting us up are most hospitable, and the chocolate chip cookies are highly tasty! We're feeling surprisingly perky and looking forward to tomorrow's ride to Nottingham.
