68 miles, first over Winter Hill/Rivington Pike. Then up between Preston and Blackburn, to Whalley and Slaidburn for lunch followed by another glorious climb over Catlow Fell to Bentham. The route contained about a dozen cattle grids, my favourite obstacle. Arrived in Kirkby last again and knackered again. We've lost one to a broken arm and with her partner dropping out we are seven riders and, temporarily, 3 escorts, but we are half way there. Up to the borders tomorrow.
