Day 2 was a day of many highs...all made possible by covering 148 km that climbed 2593m (or 8507 feet) in just under 10 hours. With that much climbing one gets to see the hills of Cornwall early in the morning,
to ride over deep gorges a few hundred feet below and then be ensconced in the tranquil tree-lined cycle path of the Granite Way in Devon,
and be rewarded with pints of ice-cold Coca Cola at Strawberry Fields Farm in 27 degree heat at 4pm in the afternoon.
What a day! We were definitely holding our breath a bit for what the next day's trip from Okehampton to Bristol would bring!
