1st Day

Well, that's 100 miles down. Does it count double if it was all uphill? Difficult, but successful day...more than I can say for England! Support crew did an amazing job looking after us cyclists and even got Waitrose in Okehampton (our night stop) to give us a shed load of free drinks and a stall to collect money...we reckon we may have collected near to £500 today! Total to be published tomorrow! Bed now, followed by counting sheep (literally!) and another early start tomorrow for more big hills. The phrase 'Jumping in at the deep end' comes to mind!! Sleep well team. We're going to need it!
