Torrential rain blited the first 3 hours of today's ride, it was no understatement to say it was dangerous, visibility was down and the spray was hopeless. By 12 O'Clock the sun had started to shine and our new problem was the head on wind, if you don't know a quite moderate head on wind can slow you to a crawl and did so today. We battled through having regular stops and arrived at Tiverton at about 4.30, Colin had to make a quick trip to the local hospital for some anti-biotics for a swollen tongue after this we ate and drunk and now are resting in the Lodgehill Hotel.
All todays details can be found here again the first 7 mile are missing from the log because of operator malfunction.
On the 25th July 2011 Colin Stonehouse and Roger Hartley will begin a sponsored bike ride from John O'Groats to Land's End to raise money for two very worthy causes, specialist medical treatment for Colin's Niece Grace, and the local Mountain Rescue Team where Roger is a volunteer member.

Sponsored Bike Ride 2011
Well I've borrowed a bike and decided to give it ago. So Colin and myself are training to try and get fit,
any tips or hints would be good.
I'll post some links to the training runs I've been
doing when I can figure out how.
