Hi Everyone,
I was in Cornwall last week, seeing my wonderful Nan and going over a few of the route options for the final day of the cycle ride. It was fantastic to see my Nan, who I haven't been able to see since Christmas. She might be a little concerned as to the madness that will descend onto her as this cycle journey reaches her in just over 2 months time, but I've told her that it's all under control. I don't know if she believed me or not!
Because I was down there, I decided to have a look at the route for the final day. Most of the way we will be following a national cycle route, but I have to work out how to get from that route over to where my Nan lives, in a sleepy little village called St Day.
The thing about Cornish roads is that they never seem to go where you want them to, sure the main A roads might do, but that doesn't always make for the most interesting or fun of rides. My main problem is that I will never be able to convince the rest of the team that it'll be more fun going on the smaller roads which snake across the countryside rather than the direct A road for as far as possible. To be honest, I say the rest of the team, I might have a job convincing my legs that it's a good idea too!
I have managed to reach a happy compromise, and I hope to post the details of the whole route very soon.
The date of the ride is creeping ever closer, and being down in Cornwall, seeing where we will be cycling has made it all the more real. The couple of hills that I ran up during my early morning run however, have made it all the more daunting.
