Early start (which proved unnecessary as we cycled SO fast). Happy to be joined by Graham who kept up a fantastic pace and Janet likewise. We actually had a hill today going into the Lincolnshire Wolds. Usual brilliantly welcome at Pat's cafe stop at 20 miles and lunch at Barton at 40 miles again at Pat and Ron's haute cuisine cafe. Thank you so much to both of you. The bells at Barton are superb. Gillett and Johnson front 4 installed after WW1 and 17th c back 4. They sounded lovely even when rung by us! The firm "Hopper" a long defunct bike manufacturer had their factory in Barton and one of the crosses in the chapel has ball bearing and chain motives on it referring to the bicycle trade. After Barton over the Humber Bridge to Beverley. 57 miles. Unfortunately no ringing at the Minster but a great welcome at Sutton on Hull for ringing in the evening and lovely to have Susan with us. Another great day and the weather was good as well. Sadly only another 2 days to go.
