Slaidburn

Set off down Maryhill road but did not stop at the Kelvin Dock pub, Calum is not coming this year.

Met Andy at Central Station and caugh the 09:40 to Oxenholme. This ran to time and it wasn't long before we were on the lanes of Lancashire and Yorkshire once again. Weather was breezy but sunny.

We stopped at a café in Kirkby Lonsdale then went on to Catlow Fell via High Bentham. The climb seemed harder this time although the conditions were ideal. We arrived at Slaidburn at 17:00, Bert, Sally, Heather and Andrew arrived shortly after and Trevor rolled in at 18:00

Mileage 39 Ave 9.6 Max 33.0 Sat

Arnside

We had a few sad goodbyes as Bertie was going home to Bristol with Andrew then we set off west.

Found a big hill over Whin Brow with lots of cyclists. We were going really well and stormed down to the seaside at Condor Green for a pub lunch, a giant chicken sandwich. We then rode up the coast to shop in Lancaster then made it to a tea shop at Leighton Moss at 16:30. It was then just 3m to the hostel at Arnside where the rain started just as we arrived. Great day out.

Mileage 42 Ave 10 Max 31.5 Sun
