Fridays ride

The omens were not good in Preston. Rain at 8, 9, and
10 oclock and a reluctant departure in the rain at 11.
George rode with me to the start of the A49. Some end
to enders go to great lengths to avoid the urban
sprawl along the A49. I enjoyed the suprisingly low
traffic route northwards last year and everything
seemed in order on Friday until i got to used miles
north of Warrinton. The south bound traffic was more
to tail until the A51
