Just woken up in Kirkby with sore everything! The rain and wind seems to have followed us up the country but we are in good spirits.
Better had get on with breakfast.
Kirby Lonsdale to Kirby Stephens was a beautiful undulating ride through the countryside. We took the ride relatively easy because at this point our knees and quadriceps had been burning from the ride.
We passed Hadrian's wall although we didn't get to see it then made our way through Longtown to meet Becky for a soup stop which had become acustomed to.
A short ride later and we were through the Scottish border and Gretna Green. Dumfries was a bit of a rough ride and Paul picked up the first puncture of the trip just a couple of miles away from where Becky was going to meet us
We all stayed in Mabie forest bunkhouse which is an excellent place to stay especially if you like mountain biking. The bunkhouse was run by Pam and Geoff who decided on a career change and took over the bunkhouse 2 years ago. They made some slight improvements, a sauna and a hot tub supplied by a spring in the forest.
Once we had unloaded that van and used the facilities, Pam cooked us a great lasagna for dinner then we bedded down for the night.

Keep going, all. You're doing a great job. We're all proud of you (and slightly scared at the craziness of it alL!).
