Day two started with a bleary eyed awakening following a restless night disturbed by snoring and a over efficient duvet cover! It started with a breakfast consisting of both cooked and cereal elements! Andy started the day with a flat tire but this was quickly resolved!
We were on the A30 at 9.30 and were soon negotiating the climbs and the traffic of a very fast road! It wasn't long until we were on the B road coming out of Okehampton and quickly made headway to Crediton. After negotiating some dodgy drivers and roadworks we took a road with a 700ft climb we were treated to some fantastic scenery and a great ride! This was punishing at times but we soon overcame it and stopped for lunch.
From here we headed to Taunton which we hit at nigh on rush hour and took great peril negotiating the traffic and road systems! We finished the final 30 miles with pretty much even terrain all the way to Weston!
Once at Weston we showered and hit the local Yates for some grub with the Henery clan! We ate very well until the staff asked that we move once we finsh so they could erect "the pole"! It's at this point we left! 102 miles, 3,230ft climbed, 5,500 calories burnt but due to a charity sweepstake taking place at work, I can't divulge the time cycled but can confirm the breaks taken were prolific!!!
Tomorrow is 110 miles and a daunting task.... I shall let you know the tales tomorrow!
Enjoy!!!
