Day Thirteen review

It has been overcast all day today but it hasn't damped our mood for cycling! A nice early set off again got us 22 miles without struggle and resulted in a nice stop at a hotel with a cup of tea and some shortbread. It also involved a bump into the guys from help the heroes again!

A few hills including a 15% incline over a mile provided some hard work as did the usual high north wind however it was worth it for the regular progressive long down hill section allowing speeds of 40mph or more.

This evening involved a couple of pint's at the local pub with the help the heroes guys before getting a good night sleep for our 50 miles to Tongue tomorrow. It should be a nice day with the wind blowing the right way and a few tourist sights on the way.

Stats for today are 60 miles, at 12.2mph on average with 4hrs 52mins in the saddle.
