today was a tough 114 mile ride from Carlisle to Manchester. the ride started with frustration of the Glasgow traffic and 100s of traffic lights for the first 20 miles and then finally into picturesque Lancashire and the biggest hill so far 1000 metre ascent over 5 miles. this would have been tough normally but was worse by continuos rain all morning until we arrives in Kendal for cappuccino :-) and gluten free cake too. The last 20 miles were back in traffic and more traffic lights and more rain but we seemed to have plenty of energy and raised to the finish arriving back to out green tents by 5pm. Time seems to fly by the time we have had tea &cake, collected our gear, showered, got a massage, washed our drinks bottles, chilled out for 10 mins with a pint and the telegraph had dinner, charged our phones, listened to the briefing, unpacked and readied our gear for tomorrow, we are ready for bed, of course after updating the blog. night night.
