Day 2

We left the BT building in Carlisle at 9:30 but got waylaid by a visit to Halfords to each buy some cycling gloves (to stop the blisters on our hands getting any bigger).

Outside Halfords we met a guy who was cycling from Land's End to John O'Groats in 4 days! That's over 210 miles per day!


There were a lot of hills today as we went through the Lake District. At one stage we climbed to 1400ft at Shap Pass. On the way down we did manage to get to over 41 mph!

Chris has the first puncture of the ride between Lancaster and Preston and we finally arrived in Preston at 9pm!

Today's stats are:
Total Distance 91.8 miles
Total Riding Time 7 hours 21 minutes
Maximum Speed 41.3 mph
Average Speed 12.4 mph
