End of day 1

Made it to the end of day 1:
51 miles, official time 5hrs, 6m, 36s.

We probably could have done it quicker if I hadn't spent half an hour
complaining about my legs hurting and eating Kendal mint cake.

The weather cleared up this afternoon so the going was a bit easier.
The highlight of the day (aside from Paul using a border terrier as a
bike stand) was definitely the descent through Whinlatter forest. It
was a bit hairy in parts with the wet weather but good fun. Think the
bikes will need some running repairs before starting tomorrow though.

Right, there's a big bowl of pasta with my name on it- and some
specialist sports fluid (made in Belgium with only four ingredients).
