We made good progress today going from Carlisle to Kilmarnock and completed 96 miles by 6 p.m. despite stopping in Gretna. I am quite impressed that we made it to Scotland in under a week and with 600 miles done so far we are nearly 2/3rds of the way there. Siobhan's bike was taken to a bike shop in Kilmarnock earlier today and surprise!! It was fixed by tea-time and ready for her to ride tomorrow. Brilliant achievement, not only by the bike shop but also by the DA crew who pulled out all of the stops to get it there. She was presented with her bent beyond use handle bars at dinner. I think they will take pride of place over her mantlepiece as a little reminder of the trip!
According to my Garmin I used up 3800 calories today so should be able to eat dinner with impunity! Onto Inverary tomorrow. Another longish day to look forward to.
