Right, here we go...


Odd feeling.  Last day.  Can't jump ahead with the thoughts too far as we have 100 miles to go.  People who have completed the ride all report Cornwall as the toughest section due to the relentless hills. 

Plan is to leave a little earlier - 8:00 and allow some more rest time.  we're aiming to arrive netween 6 and 8 this evening...7 being the scheduled finish.

Risk of becoming all gwyneth paltrow at the end, so a quick note on Jon before I start.  He is a fitter, stronger, better cyclist than me.  Each day at some point he has had to slow for me to catch up.  80% of the time he has led, often sheltering me from the headwind.  Not a hint of complaint.  I think we both gained a deal of respect for each other on the night that we had to cycle the last hour flat out.  He is a top, top bloke.

Right, cornflakes are in.  Drink powder to be mixed.  Weather looking okay.  Bring it on!!
