Day 7: To Slaidburn, Our Long Days pt1

Miles cycled: 88
Top Speed: 49mph

Britain has a remarkable road system. Today we cycled 90 miles, threading the needle between Liverpool and Manchester, not only managing to completely avoid these two cities, but also everything else. The only thing between us and the stop for the night were some little-ish hills with very sharp climbs.

Today, being so long, was conquered via two hour cycling stints rather than one hours, with an early start.

Thanks today go to the Landlord of the Hark to Bounty public house in Slaidburn for pouring us a round of beers and letting us take them over the road to have with the delicious dinner Jonathan cooked in the YHA.

Don't forget to listen out Tuesday between 11-12 on Original 106 for the next live radio hook-up.

Till next time,
