Day 5 complete

Fantastic luck with the weather again. Just 10 minutes rain at the start.

We all conquered Shap Fell - a hard, long climb into the wind. The reward was a gently downhill ride with tea breaks for the rest of the day. Of course we are held up terribly again once we get into urban riding. Road works in Penrith and Kendall and the traffic lights in Lancaster and Penrith play havoc with the length of our day. As far as Rex is concerned you can take the man out of the navy but not the navy out of the man: he just has to stop whenever there is the possibility of a red light. 😄

Past the half way stage now.
