Today's 62 mile ride from Lands End to near Padstow- the shortest distance of our adventure - started at Phil's abode 100 miles away in Ashburton in Devon. An early breakfast and quick spin in the support wagon driven by Sebastain Vettel.
Starting from a very sunny Lands End the aim was to reach Treyanon Bay near Padstow in good time to enjoy the beach and fantastic sunset before devouring Lockington's first Michelin Star evening meal.
It didn't quite work out that way due to a three hour lunch in Penzance some 9 miles from Lands End.
The team will say it was for some unexpected bike repairs caused by a slight incident (no casulaties) that required a visit to the local bike shop - you can draw your own conclusions but there is evidence that we had a pavement picnic
Redruth saw an ice cream stop due to the onset of impending heat stroke before the sea mist unbelievably decended prior to entering New Quay blanking out the sunset view at our nights stop.
However we managed to get a quick swim in the sea before our sumptuous evening meal.
Today's local ale was Betty's Stogs a 4% brew locally know as brazen cornish bitter.
Five of us about to share a four bed YHA room!
Good night all.
