Where I got lucky was it has been dry for so long the ground was hard but then the grass route turned into path again before after Lancaster basically turning to off road so decision was made quickly to join the A6.
I was surprised at how pleasurable the A6 was after the path. I have been on bike for 8 days now so the busiest road holds no fears for me. But will I miss stunning canal viaducts like below if I choose road only, tough choice but the 4 mile cycle from Preston to hotel was most unsafe I have felt but Dan has come up with good road route for tomorrow 
I reach the hotel at rather early 2pm after 50+ miles & receptionist not only lets us book in early but offers to clean clothes, she explains they get lot of cyclists and they understand how welcome clean clothes will be. I am early because I basically took no breaks which was a silly mistake, I also no longer track my mileage on cycle app as I use google maps to guide me now so careful with draining battery. God know how much extra I cycled today after a few wrong turns but now understand how it works.
Today I meet up with 2 special people in my heart failure journey. Nick CEO of Pumping Marvellous & Angela ....... Nurse of charity.
They are of course concerned about how I am feeling and hopefully I have put their concerns to rest. I have no symptoms at all & my support team are awesome basically I am just in a daily groove now.
I wouldn't say I enjoy cycling everyday but I don't hate it.
Rest of team are away to Blackpool as I write this resting on bed. Another positive day but weather looks unsettled for next week. But with my daughters waiting for me in Cornwall that's enough to drive me on.
Time for sleep
John
