Day 4 report
Logistical challenges and a wish to avoid early morning rush hour traffic through glasgow meant a slightly later start this morning.
The ride turned out to be one of two halves with the first being slow, through the built up areas of Glasgow, Paisley, Kilbride, Strathaven, Stonehouse and Blackwood.
The second and more enjoyable was along a series of a-roads running parallel with the m74, with miles of cycle paths to enjoy, all the way back to the English border.
We achieved our planned 120miles in a moving time of 9hrs and an average speed of 13.2mph. To date, we have cycled 367miles which is a third of the way to lands end. Phil "the Cavendish" Langman achieved a top speed of 38.9mph and he is determined to break the forty barrier.
If you have been following the weather, you will be aware Glasgow has been the hottest place in the country which proved somewhat punishing all day long and another high fluid intake day. We are all now a little bushed and ready for bed.
Tomorrow is day no. 5 and we head for lake district to climb scafell pike and after look forward to meeting up with yorkies parents and enjoying the hot chilli they are kindly bringing. Bob and Ray are looking forward to a well deserved night off.
We are wondering how many people are looking at the blog and request that you register as a follower, to let us know?
That's it for now folks!
