Day 2, Wadebridge to Torrington. More hills and a lot more rain.

55.05 miles, 4 hours 42 min.

Total time on the bike: 11:05:37
Total miles: 125.30

I rescheduled from last week to this because the forecast was better.
So much for the forecast! It rained almost non-stop today. When it wasn't raining it was foggy. I even had to have lunch in the rain because the cafe I stopped at only had outside tables available.

But the weather wasn't my biggest problem. That was the hills.
Constant hills!
Towards the end of the day I was reduced to pedalling for 30 seconds then resting for a minute, pedalling then resting. Such was the angle of the incline and the energy levels in my legs.
It was all worthwhile when I crested the last one in Torrington to see my wife and parents in the distance waving me in. I was then treated to a chocolate medal, a pasta dinner and a home made chocolate coffee cream cake :-)

Tomorrow's section is the worst day for hills, including a 25%er - but the forecast is DRY!
