Day 1


St Just to Lands End to Ladock

57 miles

Average 12.6 mph

Max 40.7 mph

Dry and sunny


Tailwind



After photos at lands end we followed a lovely route across the southern edge of the peninsula


Before Lamorna we stopped at the Merry Maidens, a circle of stones and then on to our first refreshment  stop at marazion. We cycled right by the coast. Beautiful turquoise sea. Rocky outcrops. And a clear blue sky.  Great espresso stop and then off again.


Then off to bissoe for lunch at the bike chain. Great to sit out and relax in the sun. And chatter.


With only 12 miles to go it was a relaxing run into Ladock where I lost my chain. A quick replacement and off up the hill to realise that the rest of the group had missed a turning and had gone. A short delay to contact them and re group before arriving into the farm where we were staying. Bikes were washed and then chocolate milk and a bath.


Dinner was spaghetti bolognese and chocolate brownies.


Today's review and tomorrow's briefing.
 

Then bed at 9.
 

Great day. Glowing.
