We woke early and after I finished my conversation with my local radio station KM FM back in the Medway Towns we set off on stage 2 of the LEJOG - Fotunately a nice 3 mile downhill stretch, just what the doctor ordered! The Devon countryside was beautiful but hilly. Basked in sunshine. Our support drivers Jim & Tomo were settling in nicely, Jim settled in very quickly - parking the minibus on a flood plain and bogging it in!!! Thanks to the local in a landrover for pulling us out.
After the first day a lot of riding problems were ironed out and progress was better. This stage took us upto Bridgwater and was a relativly short stage, we had the option to bite into the next days stage. We arrived at the M5 Travelodge shortly after 5pm after a little persuasion Jessica agreed to riding 10miles off the next days stage.
Jessica and the team of lads have done me proud with their continuous efforts. We arrived back at 6pm lots of time to rest those legs and bums! Big stage to come
