BIKING LANDS END TO JOHN O'GROATS WITH MR WELLS
Dartmoor Snow!!

Hello Blog Followers.
Sorry I didn't blog (is that the right thing to say???) yesterday but the reception was awful last night.
I am now in Axbridge after 2 days of riding. The train ride to Penzance was amazing, with a comfy bed and a wake up call with a bacon sandwich. There was then a ride to Lands End of 10 miles before really setting off with several other adventurers. Kids you will be glad to know that Mr Wells soared passed them all within the first 10 miles. The rolling hills of Cornwall while pretty became slowly more and more tiring and felt like they were getting steeper and steeper!!!!!By the end of a 101 mile day I was glad to stop.
This morning started with a 4 mile up the hills of Dartmoor, these went on and on but riding under some kind of bird of prey was pretty amazing. The snow reminded me just how cold it was as did the hailstone!!!!
The hills did not stop and one down hill was just a little too much for my nerves to deal with as I kept the brakes on all the way down. The rain poured and the wind blew and the hills got steeper to the point that I nearly cried. Eventually they all calmed down and after a tuna sandwich I managed to get a little faster and finish 99 miles just before 7pm with Sarah, Pat and Ron seeing me yet again.

  1. Hi Jonny, Bridget thinks fewer pasties if you want to maintain that physique! (Says she eating chocolate croissants on Easter morning, with a lazy day ahead...
