I said goodbye to my rocks of support Claire and Darren today and I'm truly solo. I don't mind telling you it was hard emotionally. They've been brilliant these first few days and I can't thank them enough. When I finish it will be because of them.
I saw a group of 17 cyclists taking a break in a lay-by. Full support crew including a massage table! They offered me food and drink and told me they had come from John O'Groats 8 days earlier. They looked in good shape. Not sure I'll be looking the same when I'm 100 miles from the end. I did take heart that they said it is hillier in Devon than anywhere else on their travels which will be a god send.
I think in total I've dine approx 117miles but tomorrow will have to be a short day and a stay in a B&B. I need to go and work out where I'll be. Anyone know any cheap ones 10 miles east of Zeal Monachorum?
