Day 3 - St Columb Major, Cornwall to Stibb Cross, Devon

The worst day yet - very difficult. We did 54 miles, up and down crazy hills and along the A39 three times with dangerous fast traffic. We started at 9 am and finished at 5:30 and we only took one half hour break for morning coffee.

I felt like giving up a couple of times, but I can't give up on the charity. My right hand (the stroke hand) ached at the end of the day (still hurts).

Brian & Liz were King and Queen of the mountains today! They were the only ones who got to the top of a long hill with a 16% incline. It was difficult to push the bikes up nevermind cycle up. The hill was 3 miles before the end of our day, so well done to both of them.

We are staying in Bude tonight and we finally have internet in our room. I writing this in bed - well I'm dictating and Vanessa's typing.

you've picked a gorgeous week for it - hope it's not too hot for you.
It's a good job Judy's not with you, she was given a bike at the weekend and promptly fell off it! No harm done though - just to the ego!
Here's wishing you all the very best for the rest of your journey, we're following your progress on the entertaining blog!
