Jerry's bike was prepared and panniers removed. Joe and Phil set off for Oakhampton at 09:45am with Jerry and Julie following in the car. Surprise, surprise it rained for the tenth day running! They averaged 17mph for the first three hours, cycling through Somerset plains. We stopped for lunch in Taunton. There was a strong headwind throughout the day and the ride got harder and harder as the day progressed. The last 20 miles were extremely difficult. We arrived in Oakhampton at 7pm, checked into the B&B and went into town for dinner as all very hungry.
Tomorrow morning Joe and Phil will cycle from Oakhampton to Bissoe nr Truro.
At the first opportunity photos will be downloaded.
Thank you very much to everyone who has sent their best wishes to us.
