A little nervous about the days ahead

Sitting on train on way down to Penzance. Can't remember last time I was on a train for more than an hour, let alone 5 hours. Going to get really bored and I suspect a severe case of cabin fever.....

Feeling pretty fit and in a vaguely decent form of physical fitness, I've done just shy of 2,000 miles so far this year to train for this ride. Was pretty happy up until a week ago and was thinking that the hills of Cornwall & Scotland were perhaps not going to be as ugly as everyone says they are. That was until spending a weekend in Wales and watching cyclists struggle up 1 in 5 hills and 5 mile long climbs - so perhaps it is going to be a little less easy than cycling around the flatlands of Hertfordshire and Cambridge.....

First few days weather forecast is looking pretty good, not to hot and not too rainy with a nice westerly breeze.

Am going to ride the huge distance of 2 miles tonight - from the hotel to lands end and back again, so we can get all the photos etc done tonight and then get away from the hotel at a decent hour tomorrow morning. Even that 2 mile return trip has our first 1 in 5 hill, so that will be "interesting"...

Love to all.
