Day Nine review

Well today was a good and bad one. 14 miles in and we managed to cross the border and get into Gretna Green. As with most well know places, it is now very tourist orientated with attractions and photo opportunities. It was a lovely place to stop for tea though and seemed to be a mecca for cyclists on charity rides!

The rest of the day ended up being a heads down ride along a B road next to the motorway for over 60 miles hence the lack of real pics. It was nice to have a flat ride with small gradients however scenery was more than disappointing. It did however mean we arrived in good time and had what was a relatively easy day.

The stats for today are 82 miles, taking 6hrs 31mins at an average pace of 12.6mph.

Tomorrow is off to Sterling which is noted as a 42 mile day so it'll be a short one for us!
