After the long drive south, stopping overnight in Cheshire we went directly to the start to get the formalities such as registering with the End to End club and having the official picture taken at the sign post. Once this was done, given the good weather it seamed a shame not to put a few miles in so setting off at 16:00 I made it to Truro before 19:00.
It is true what people say about Cornwall, the roads are either going up hill or down hill, steeply, however I'm sure I had to pedal up far more hills than ones I could roll down. The prevailing wind that prompted the ride from south to north was also not playing fair today, being a strong easterly.
Facts and Figures for today's ride;
Distance 42 miles
Average speed 15 mph - This will have to drop for tomorrows ride
Max Speed 41 mph
Pubs visited 0 - This also may have to be worked on.
