Day 0 - On the train...

Nick, Ed and myself are on the train from London Paddington down to Penzance.

Albeit only just as Nick and Ed arrived at the station with only 3 mins to go - a mad dash to the other end of the platform to throw our bikes in the guards van before hopping on the train just as the doors closed - nothing like a smooth start... Fingers crossed the bikes are still in one piece when we arrive.

Unfortunately, no Tom with us as he suffered a bad ankle sprain last week playing rugby. Hoping that he will be able to join us later on in the trip as and when the ankle has healed enough to cycle.

Planning to do penzance to lands end and back this evening (approx 20miles) so that we can start heading east tomorrow.

Weather as it is is overcast but with showers and strong easterlies forecast and the look of the very hilly scenery out of the train window - it looks the first few days will be very tough indeed... What are we doing?!
