A quick 1 mile warm up and we were taking the team photo at Land's End. It's really real now!!
Day One - Cornwall. A beautiful county but absolutely brutal
on a bike!
106 miles of up and down country. 8,500 ft climbed over 7
hours of riding. Jelly was an animal up the hills and Stilly hit the wall
(energy wise) several time. See the route and geeky cycling stuff on Strava: app.strava.com/activities/71680758
First of three Ferry’s across the Fowey was a welcomed break
after some stunning coast line scenery.
Great lunch in St Austell at 60 miles. Everyone felt great
and confident about the rest of the trip. How wrong we were! 40 miles of tough
country saw us all a little shell shocked but very happy to arrive in Devon.
Tomorrow is a lot flatter and some solace (by Stilly) is being taken from that!
Nice to finally started and get day one behind us.
Apparently it is the hardest of the 10.5 days. I really hope so!!!
