We made a great start to the TRAT today: we enjoyed stunning views of the sea in the morning light as we left Lands End, and all of us were delighted to have finally crossed the starting line after the group photo: training is officially over - this is the real thing.
Weather was good all day, with sunshine most of the day and a unbelievable tail wind for whole of the 155 miles: it does not get much better! Total ascent today was 9000 ft and calories burnt in excess of 5000kcal. Cornwall and Devon definitely are not flat. The 12 cyclists worked together well, and the BST support team was fab.
An ideal start, and we are told, this was the toughest day! Only 140 miles on the menu tomorrow
