If I understand the table well, then:
64 is the distance between manchester and leeds;
160 is the distance between manchester and carlisle;
279 is the distance between manchester and edinburg;
148 is the distance between leeds and carlisle;
260 is the distance between leeds and edinburg;
119 is the distance between carlisle and edinburg.

You need to find the total distance for the bike ride, which consists of 3 stages.
What are they, and how long is each?

Yes, that is, if I understood the table well. With no other information, it's hard to figure out something for sure.
