This was at 7pm ... with a few uphill miles to go on Monday .... the 'bad' day ..... but i was so happy to have left Cornwall!!!
The last slog home on Monday night ... dusk fell and it was all about determination...
Tuesday morning ... after a 7 mile slog uphill from Tavistock ... finally made it into Dartmoor...
Typical Dartmoor... heavy mist hung... just after this photo the Bentley roared past!
It wasn't long before the mist lifted and the blue skies reigned!
From Left to Right - Geoff, Emma, James
They weren't wrong when they said animals in the road!!!
For a brief happy moment i thought i'd made it to Scotland!!!
Crossing the River Ex - the locals were having some fun!
I never imagined i'd whoop with joy to see a 'The Midlands sign' suddenly it felt like we were making progress!!
Leaving Devon & Arriving in Somerset.... there wasn't a sign ... so we improvised (James, Emma, Mike) Getting into Somerset felt like cause for celebration 'cause everyone says - "Cornwall & Devon are the hardest bit"
And so far... it's true ... without a doubt!
Morning coffee in Somerset ... cyclists galore!!
The reason that going up hills is a good thing!
Happy times... at the top of the Quantocks... downhill all the way to the Somerset Levels... the first day that felt good!
James & Emma 
Mike & Geoff
Ahhhh the view i have most of the time!!!
Or this!
House-dreaming as we cycle through somerset!
It's true - the levels are level!
