The Ride First Day
After a tardy start picking up the duo, and amid much excitement in Michael Paul House the second home of young Vince where members of his team were reduced to orgasmic delight by the misguided thought he might cycle passed, we enjoyed a trouble free journey to Lands End for the start of the adventure.
There after exchanging insults with a couple of lads who had just cycled the wrong way, they posed for a photo session before leaping into the saddle. The weather was remarkably kind and they cycled for an excellent 54 miles, much more than anticipated. Of course I’d like to report it was silky smooth but they whinged and moaned over a couple of mere pimples for which I was blamed ~ harsh I thought but they seemed to think it was fair!
In my defence on my map all looked flat and although a "beacon" suggested a hill ~ anyway the fire would have been visible for miles! Gave them an excuse to have several of the lovely rock cakes made for Andy by Karen from Bridgwater.
Campsite at Treamble Valley near Perranporth was great and the chilli lovingly (?) prepared by Mrs Smith was enjoyed by all. Now sat in Mcdonalds at Newquay girding our loins for the next leg of the adventure.
Well upwards and onwards.

Hope the ride is good today and that Andy's (Swan) map reading skills have improved somewhat!
Julie and I thought we would cheer ourselves up at your departure and went for a swim last night, yes, my tongue is in my cheek!
Good Luck for today

Hi Boys,
I hope all those soft bits have had lots of padding placed around them and you're loaded with lubrication!
Jane and I thought about you this afternoon. We were sat in the Castle Hotel Garden with a glass of wine and a lovely lunch in the sunshine thinking how peaceful this was and relaxing. We then thought of you both cycling up through Cornwall with the sun beating down and all those grokels driving by and car fumes and traffic jams and thought oh well, what shall we have for desert!
Keep it up lads, the causes are worthy and you can achieve your dream.
Steve and Jane
