Apologies for not updating the blog sooner, this is due to the lack of interweb access in Cornwall> Thankfully they now have roads which made the first day a little easier.
Day 1 is successfully completed!65 miles down 935 to go!
The Mishap Mile* firstly concerned David, he apparently de-railed his chain at the bottom of a long very steep hill - on MILE 32
Adam then had a puncture 3/4 of a mile from the finish point.
The team has voted and David's mishap is the winner which makes the Day 1 winner "Twiggy" - for choosing this distance ... prizes drawn at end of the road!
We would like to pay tribute to our support team, Compo, Foggy and Clegg. They managed to miss our first rendez vous leaving us ravenous. They were then late for our lunch stop. The afternoon stop was an improvement although they had no milk for the tea, no mugs and nothing to light the gas stove with!
Thanks from us all to Julia for updating the blog. Thanks also to Brenda, Linda and Anita at the Boscastle Youth Hostel - a fantastic place to stay.
*Disaster Mile - £2 donated per mile chosen between one and one thousand for predicted gremlins and mishaps
