The problem with today's route is the flat bits - they are too short and there aren't enough of them. Weather was lovely though, as my sunburned legs can attest. And Cornwall is really beautiful.
Cycled most of the day with Steve and Joe, who really helped us along. We kept a steady pace all day, and although we weren't first in we weren't last either.
Bravest cyclist of the trip must be Ruth, who is doing the whole thing on a folding bike with tiny wheels - and looking like she just stepped off the catwalk at the same time. She has the most stylish looking bike kit I've ever seen from cyclodelic.co.uk; I want some!
Only down of the day is Debbie fell off on the approach to Bodmin and landed quite hard so I think she will be bruised tomorrow.

I think what you are doing is great and in some ways I am quite envious though the way I am suffering after the Munro Challenge on Saturday tells me I wouldn't quite be up to it. Hope you are having fun even with the rain. See you when you get back.

I love the Instamapper function - when I zoomed in a little more closely just now it appeared to have your bike's location up a tree next to what looks suspiciously like a pub carpark! Here's hoping that all is not as it seems... Am extremely impressed with your progress so far. Amazing how long each day's distance looks. You seem to be scheduled to pass through the Cheshire area next Thursday - any ideas on route, as am suffering from tempation to stand by it and wave a little flag frenetically for the 23 seconds that you might be in sight! Continue to have a great time, Hilxxx
