Today we went back into our routine after a short day yesterday. We were on the bikes just after 10am in full sun however it still was very cold and frosty! We soon warmed up though.
A fairly strait forward ride today following one road from Mauchline to Annan which is just above the Scottish border which we will be finally crossing tomorrow. The beginning of today's ride was good to start but then turned bitterly cold cycling through the lowlands. There was still snow on the fields from the weather the day before and the temperate had plummeted. Soon after we crossed the mountain area however it all improved and my make shift gloves made out of socks came off!
We cycled about 40 miles to a small town to find some food. We came across a little cafe that looked very nice and sold baguettes etc. happy pottery bakers it was called. After deciding what baguette we were going to have we were just about to walk through the door when all we could see was a load of little kids eating baguettes and making pottery!! A decision was made to carry on another 10 miles to Dumfries where we found McDonalds, a much safer option!!
As usual the last 10 miles were the worst, they always seem to go on and on after all you can think about is that hot warm shower! We also had a massage to look forward to tonight as well which was extremely relaxing and well needed!!
Soon after we were starving again so visited a loal Chinese to stuff our faces with noodles and chicken! Now just chilling in the room ready to do the same again tomorrow! Looking forward to meeting everyone in Kendal tomorrow as well!!!
