The way points of this bicycle route:
On the beach at St Bee's, dipped our wheels in the Irish Sea!
Dad met us in a petrol station!
Milometer read 66.6 miles - seriously!
I took an early bath here!
Dreaming of the pint and the open fire got me up to the high point of the route, and I wasn't disappointed!
Started to get twinging knee pain on a steep climb round about here - oh dear
And not just ibuprofen, these were properly powerful ones!
Decide to cut the day short at Marske, avoiding last big climb of day
Tom does a sterling job as a rouleur
Ow! Most pain yet
It was to be our last day (think I already knew it really)
Knees no match for the bridleway
Buy some arnicare after an emergency diagnosis. It helps - a bit
Sarnies in the rain
While I tried to work out how to break the bad news to Tom
The moment we'd both been dreading - we turned our bikes west and retraced our steps, waiting for dad at Stainby
