Jon is on the left, who made the worst decision of his life in not joining us for the journey... ohhhh he's going to regret it...! (let me tell you more about our journey, Jon...) 

There is video of us leaving the starting line too, but I'll have to link that later.

The kids and everyone joined us for the first few hundred metres which was lovely, and very poignant..

It was still raining 10 miles later.... Ugh... But yen joined us for the journey into Penzance, so her giggling kept any worries away. The hill down to Newlyn was steeeeeeep! Definitely something to test the Brakes!

Just after Penzance was where stuff went wrong... Our GPS Machines disagreed, so we decided to follow mine.. *mistake*....! We hit lots of hills... Now Cornwall is full of hills anyway, but we were making hard work of it...!... This was the low point of the day... By FAR!!... finding the shop at a village was fantastic.. Like a mirage!

A few miles before finding the shop was a worrying time as Andrew had hit a low-point with his sugar levels and wasn't sure that he could carry on. I went to a nearby house to ask for some bread or cake to raise his glucose levels, and a very kind older lady apologised for just finishing her last piece of cake but gave me a few slices of bread. She might not know it, but she made our day with that simple gesture.

After more hills, including one that was "unsuitable for motor vehicles" (and bikes, Btw!), we were heading towards our final destination for the day, in tregowny.. And with just 1.5 miles to go, we were almost home and dry... Except for the hill.... We had just about had enough of hills by then, and assuming we neared the top, Andrew stopped to take a breath, at which point, a guy in full waiter uniform including bow tie came out of one of the houses and offered us a glass of water.. We must have looked bad, but he was very kind and it was a good time to get waiter service...!

After a great meal at Jon's parents place, we are off to bed..
