LeJoG Day 1 - We're off!

The time has finally arrived, and our adventure has begun.  We all slept badly, all feeling daunted by the challenge in front of us, questioning whether we can really do it, worried about all the things which could go wrong.  But we made it to Lands End, and set off in glorious sunshine - it's been beautiful weather all day, although slightly too hot for comfort on a bike.  They were even ringing the bells for us as we came through Penzance - anyone who knows my mobile phone ringtone will realise that the sound caused some confusion for a moment or two!  If you want to know our exact route, the Strava file will show you where we've been today.

By the famous sign (although you can't get closer without paying for the privilege!)

From this angle you can see the post which says 'start'!

We went past St Michael's Mount this morning

Joel spotted this old lifeboat moored in Hayle
