This was set to be the hardest day of the ride, and it did not fail to disappoint. After the lack of sleep Jolyon and Jo set off at 8.15am to spend the day cycling up and down hills. It even got to the point where they didn’t even look forward to going downhill because they knew they would only have to go straight back up again. However this was offset by the beautiful scenery and lovely weather as they passed Bodmin Moor and Dartmoor.After cycling for 7 hours and covering 80 miles they arrived in Exeter at 7.15pm. Their average spend increased to 10.6mph on the second hay and the fastest speed reached was 36 mph.
At the end of the first two days they are both feeling good and confident about the rest of the journey. They are really pleased with the brilliant weather so far and even managed to avoid most of the showers on Tuesday morning. Jolyon and Jo are making great progress and after the first two days are still on schedule to finish on the 7th June.
