And that's a wrap! I've made it! The last few miles from Constantine were tough going, more psychological than physical I think. my legs felt like blocks of lead! There is a hill coming out of Gweek that I had to push my bike up the last time I tried. This time I pedalled all the way non-stop which cheered me up and gave me energy for the last stretch home. Thankfully, I made it home just as the rain started. It was an amazing feeling to come cycling through ...

Great last night! It was gone 2:30 by the time I set off from Pensilva on the road to St Austell. I went over the last bit of Bodmin moor and joined the main road towards Truro. The way was quite busy and hilly but passed without incident. After about 15 miles my head had almost completely cleared following the previous evening's festivities.

Will definitely come back here again for a visit. Friendliest pub ever!

I found myself questioning what on earth I was doing, why put myself through this? Surely buses are there ...

Another great nights sleep! You may have read in a previous post that I had had some issues with hills. They faded to nothingness compared with some of the b*****s I went up yesterday! Going into the moors was fine. I stopped off to get supplies at the co-op in Ashburton (3 bananas, 2 bread rolls, 1 pack of salami, 1 tin of baked beans with sausages, 1 pack chicken cupasoup, and 1 pack of haribo (tangfastics of course)). In Ashburton, outside coop, I got t...
