We woke to find the cycling Gods were looking down on us, this morning, no rain, no fog, blue sky and the wind behind our backs! First job after a delicious breakfast Neil had to put in a new inner tube, the puncture repair had failed.

| The Final Puncture Repair |
The journey started with Neil's suggestion we follow the trail we had used 27 years ago when we were on our last cycling holiday, I don't know how he remembered that but there it was a beautiful track going past Penrose house and the National Trust Offices, through woods and spitting us out at Porthleven. We continued through the picturesque Porthleven on a climbing B-road alongside the coast with breathtaking scenery the wind pushing us along, it was bliss. A very fast 5 mile run along the main toad down to Marazion, we flew down this road, I registered 34mph, frightened myself to death!

| Newlyn Cycle Track |
At Marazion the stunning St.Michael's Mount came into view, the weather was warm and sunny so it looked magnificent. We stopped for a quick coffee then joined the cycle path which took us all along the bay to Newlyn, an easy fun ride with the smell of the sea with us. A climb out of Newlyn onto the A30 which was to take us all the way to Lands End. This was the last of the long hills and I admit here to being tired and having to walk up a time or two. Gareth had very kindly offered to pick us up at Lands End as he was working in Truro so I was looking out for him passing us, I was hoping it would be when I was flying along down hill looking a bit professional but alas it was when I was trudging up the last hill!! great to see him flashing his lights and knowing we were nearly there.
