We started this morning with a gruesome hill to climb - all three of us ended up having to get off and push as we hadn't warmed up our legs by then. We continued on and joined the CTC route in the morning and headed through Camborne - coffee and bacon sandwiches at the Station buffet and then on to Truro and then followed the route to the Pheasant at East Newlyn which served very good Tribute beer. Then more ups and downs until eventually we had a 9 mile road bash along the A39 into Wadebridge. Here we found an excellent Travelodge with a pub that provided food and drink for the evening. Today was a particularly hard ride - we cycled about a mile in height throughout the numerous hills with their relentless fall and rise. We were warned that Cornwall and Devon would be the worse and this is certainly proving to be the case. We have enjoyed great weather, although we could have done without today's headwind.
Many thanks to all those who are keeping us in their thoughts and prayers.
Great to see that through the miles of cycling you were able to find good food and drink! Well done!!!
