Day One: Hills and yet more hills.

Opened the curtains at Sunny Bank House to blue skies and sun. Fuelled by a full english we cycled the 1.5 miles to Lands End. After photos at the sign post we set off at around 10a.m. A Lovely ride into Penzance. We cycled along the coast towards St. Michael's Mount - tide out blue skies what a view. At 20miles we stopped in Hayle for a blueberry smoothie. How very pleasant. That's when the hills got nasty! up, down, hills, more hills, stopped for a late lunch at Scorrier. Refuelled we headed onwards towards Truro. Hills, steep hills, up, down, steeper hills, downhill into St. Austell - travelodge. 5.30p.m. costa and tiffin. 53 and a bit hilly miles ticked off. bit hillier than I expected. Thanks for donating today Belinda - It made the last ten miles a bit easier when I got the just-giving e-mail. Tomorrow is the hardest day of the whole route. Ten miles more and hillier!
