End to End - Day 5

The summit of Shap Fell - half way. With me is Annette Dentith, of the Mid Devon CC, roadracer and triathlete. We had just stormed up Shap with Adam and Gary of the Clic Sargent charity ride who are part of our group. I wasn't first to the top (I wasn't even second...)

As you'll see from the jackets, the first rain of the trip. Quite a change, but a good run, nevertheless. Rush hour at Preston this morning was a bit fraught, lunch at Kendal very pleasant (haggis on offer, but not yet), and the Angus Hotel in Carlisle for supper.

Scotland tomorrow!

101.82 miles and 4738 ft of ascent.

Well done Mark another two good days riding. Funny how Shap seems to bring out the wet weather. I can see the exitement building as you progress towards Scotland. It must be great to have such a chellenging rider with you Annette seems to be very fit. I rode the "Ten" 2nite and improved my time so quite pleased.
