Day Seven

Despite having an hours less sleep last night, spirits were high. Before we set off, Tom and Dick sorted us out - tinkering with our bikes and re-packing :)

Lancaster to Carlisle

Distance: 92.43 miles
Time: 9 hours 40 minutes
Ave Speed: 12.0 mph
Max Speed: 40.3 mph

We flew out of Lancaster along cycle paths, canals and roads in the wake of Tom and Dick.

As we rolled into Sedbergh, we reached the 500 mile marker for the journey - over half way :)

We continued North towards Kirby Stephen and on to Appleby-in-Westmorland. We then wiggled left, right, up and down the country lanes towards Carlisle. Today has been the best day by far. A huge improvement on the A-road drudgery that has tainted the last three days.
