We made an early start this morning to fit in the miles and factor in a trip home for a few hours.
Our
way from Warrington to Leyland was up and down and we again made use of
our navigation skills and ended up a little too westerly from where we
should have been. The country roads were good though. After leaving Leyland,
it was pretty flat back to the Fylde coast, taking advantage of the
Preston Guild Wheel route to benefit from the zero traffic.
Plus of course we knew where we were going!

Going back to Paul's house gave us the opportunity to have a few hours just relaxing in familiar surroundings and eating plenty.
(and did they... Just going to say Lemon & Poppy seed Cake - GONE! not even the dog got any!)
Paul even got time to slip on his slippers!

We then headed on 30 miles to Carnforth via Garstang and Lancaster.
Day 7 - Today's figures:
Time 4hrs 08mins
60.98miles (To Thornton only)
Elevation gained 493
Avg speed 14.7
Top Speed 40.7 (wow!)
It was getting dark and our lights did not give us too much confidence that we could be seen.
That night we stayed with Paul's parents. It was so nice to be sleeping in a bed for a change.
Just a reminder...
