A frustrating start to the day as it made sense to wait for a weather front of heavy rain to clear as we only had a short ride to RNAS Culdrose (Helston) this afternoon. The feeling of anticipation as we drank our coffees in the cafe was palpable as the reality of starting the End to End challenge was finally upon us. Once the rain cleared we cycled in broken sunshine along quiet Cornish roads; the highlight was passing along the coast at Newlyn with some great views of St Michael’s Mount. Stats: 28 miles, 2 hours, Ave Speed 14mph, total ascent 2430ft. Today was very much a case of getting down to the start line and getting on the bikes ready for some serious riding tomorrow. Day 2 Helston to Plymouth, 77 miles, expecting it to be challenging with some seriously undulating Cornish countryside to navigate.
