Day 5

Our most efficient ride. 85 miles with an average better than 4 minute miles.

First half to Dunfries took us on the main road but no traffic to speak of.

We went into Dunfries and found a bike shop, Kirkatrick Cycles. A real life saver. Stuart had been concerned about his bike and asked if his was okay only to be told ‘it's fine, not as bad as your mate’s!’ Gears and brakes mended we went onto the edge of Scotland at Gretna. Not worth a visit but the road was amazing. Averaged 19-20 mph and even took on a random cyclist for a race. England reached and photos taken, we set off for Brampton where we arrived in time to watch the team pursuit final. We have also seen the hills in the background awaiting us tomorrow.......
