Day 8 - As telephoned from Longtown!

Well done girls - Longtown, you are really making progress! And, as you can see from their photos they look pretty good on it too!

Here's todays news: Lucy and Sian left Kendal at around 9.15am and headed to Shap summit. They went up and down along the A6. It was a definite downhill into Penrith where the girls had lunch in a nice cafe!

Next stop - Carlisle where they found a bike shop for the bikes to have a bit of TLC. Lucy's bike having a new bracket (I'm told near where the pedals go!) The bikes and the girls refrshed it was off to Longtown!

Arriving at their destination at 3.20pm they were having a pint in one of the 2 pubs when they phoned! Longtown was described as being 'random and interesting'. (hope none of you come from there!)

That's all folks, Sian + Lucy are doing just fine and once again were in good spirits - legs doing ok.

Critical stats: Ride time: 4hrs 13mins - Calories burnned: 1836 (they reckon they've eaten more than that today!) - Miles: 50.8 - Max speed: 36.6

Oh and NO mishaps today!
