Day 1 - We're Off - Destination Fowey

Sunny day for the start of the 1000 mile ride, after a night in Penzance severely disturbed by revellers in the early hours. Taxis to the start at Land's End, leaving there at 9 am.


Cornwall's hills are just as tough and frequent as promised but we made very good time, stopping for. Lunch at Perranwell provided by the support van, lots of carbs, bananas and liquids.



Continued after a decent break, crossing over the Fal via the King Harry Ferry, which crawls back and forward across the river using chains. Immediately the steepest climb so far, then some good fast and quiet roads to St Austell. With 4miles to go came the sting in the tail, a very steep climb before descending into Fowey and the night's stopover.
