Day 2 - (Fowey - Morton Hampstead) - A good nights sleep in Fowey but greeted with rain and strong north winds in our faces as we set off for 60 miles through Cornwall and up onto Dartmoor.  Lots of short and steep ascents followed by some quick descents.  Over 5800 feet of climbing today, even more than yesterday.  It was a hard day on the bike but glad to arrive at our B&B in Morton Hampstead for a bath to warm up.  Unfortunately we have had 2 riders pull out, one chap had a nasty fall off the bike yesterday and the Hospital have called time, and a female rider tore a calf muscle and was forced to retire.  Just heading out for a bite to eat with the other riders before we head up towards (a hopefully sunny) Somerset.

Here's my riding pal Keith and his invisible bike!.  We have ridden together so far and managed to keep a good pace both on the flat and during the climbs.
