66 miles today. 136 down and 864 to go.. Some very steep ascents (out of Looe and up Dartmoor) but followed by great descents! Top speed? 47 mph. Amazing! Trying for 50 now as that broke my previous record of 40 mph. The sight of the butty van at the top of a steep and long climb up Dartmoor made us all cheer. Negotiated Plymouth on Sustrans Route 27. At least it meant we avoided the town traffic and annoying the motorists... Something we seem to be getting good at the last two days as we've had some negative comments from some of them.. Now at Moreton Hampstead for the night; lovely B&B and got our washing done! Our kit is now drying in the breakfast room.... The landlady doesn't seem impressed by having cyclists descend on her... At The Horse for dinner having yummy pasta and pizza! Got to get our carbs! Oh and the beer and wine we deserve too.. Bit later.. Another beer..
Later!
Please post comments on this blog as we'd love to hear from you!

You two are amazing - well done to both of you.
It's lovely to see the photos and be able to follow you. Have you got your route for Friday? I know your due in to Runcorn in the afternoon but which way do you approach is it through Frodsham? Keep up the fantastic effort and hopefully see you Friday. x
