Day 2 Launceston to Bridgwater

First the stats - 91 mileage in 7 hours. If I'd done that distance in that time in Norfolk I'd have shot myself. Truth is Devon and Somerset are not Norfolk. Really tough morning 2000 foot ascent just south of Oakhampton was my first low point of the tour. Early afternoon between Crediton and Tiverton was pure evil - knees and bum very sore. Limped into Bridgewater and after a quick shower I'm eating and rehydrating in a pub! Tomorrow is another 90 miles through Bristol into Wales then Hereford. Hope knees, legs and bum recover. Again a million thanks for all your messages and support - I can't stress enough how much it means and spurs me on. Cheers, John.
