Day 4 - The 103 mile rest day

After yesterday's excitment, today's stage was as incident free as a 100 mile plus ride could possibly be.

We did the first leg with Delotte's B Team, luckily led by one of the few Scotsmen on the ride, as he knew the route through Glasgow like the back of his hand. The scenery wasn't too good though so the first photo is of the tour bus at the first pit stop.

It's only rock 'n' roll but I like it

Straight after the first stop, we went up the biggest climb of the day with the motorcycle photographer just in front of us...

Claire was smiling at the bottom of the hill

However, they weren't there to take pictures of us, but the Team GB Paralympic Cycling Team who flew past us...

Even though the route wasn't as picturesque as the previous days in the Highlands, the Clyde Valley has its moments.

The Motorway is to the right

As it was virtually all downhill from midway, we finished a good 4 hours quicker than yesterday and had the luxury of eating dinner in a real life restaurant, rather than in a big tent, at Carlise Racecourse, our home for the night.

Tomorrow, we head off to Haydock Park, nr Manchester and a possible guest appearance from the Guv.

Oh, nearly forgot, today's stats were: 103 miles, 2,000 metres of climbing at a nice and easy average of 15 mph.
