We are the pub cyclists

We rode LeJog in June of this year. 1014 miles in 10 days staying and eating in pubs along the way. We are now starting to plan our next ride following our core values....

Day 6 and The Scotland

Kendal to Dumfries, sounds easy doesn't it? Oh, where are you off today? Just Kendal to Dumfries.
On a bike it is a long ride. First the hills of the Lake District then the flats of Dumfries and Galloway.
The scenery in the LD was fantastic and there were some excellent roads to cycle along. Day 6 was very tough for me personally due to saddle sores from the previous 500 miles. It meant I could not sit on the saddle normally and had to slide forward which puts pressure on different bits. Not a comfortable riding position and a lot of energy is used keeping the bot bot off the seat.
Dumfries is Dumfries and that is all I am going to say about that.
Pit stop was the Queensberry Hotel and it was ok for the price. They advertised free Wi-Fi but it turned out to be more like Wi-Fi free so sorry, no pictures from day 6 ride at Tyne moment.

Today is day 7 and the ride is Dumfries to Arran, a mere 110 mile glide.......
We have a booking on the ferry for 3.15pm which is 82miles away so no lunch stop, just head down...
