LeJoG Day 2 It's even more difficult than we thought!

Today has been a struggle.  We didn't quite complete our planned route yesterday, so we had a few extra miles to catch up.  Getting out and ready to cycle took just as long as yesterday, and tempers were getting frayed as we watched the day ticking by.  We decided that if necessary we would reduce the number of miles and hills by taking an A-road for a few miles . . .

Once we did get going, we were doing well for 10 miles or so.  But then Nathan fell off his bike and gave himself a nasty graze on his leg, as well as a shock!  We ended up having an extended lunch break as we tried to clean him up.  The A-road short cut became a necessity if we weren't going to fall a long way short of our intended stopping-point.

So, as you'll see from Strava, we only cycled about 25 miles today, finishing at Wadebridge.  We'll return there in the morning, ready to continue.

Those of you reading this who pray, please pray that we'll start sleeping better - even a day's cycling yesterday didn't do the trick last night.  Pray for Nathan, that he'll be able to continue cycling tomorrow.  Pray for Joel, who had to exert mind over matter in a big way to get out of bed this morning.  And pray that we'll get more efficient in getting ourselves out and ready to go in the mornings, and sorted out in the evenings.

With everything else, we didn't manage many photos today.  But maybe this one sums up the boys' feelings!

When the going gets tough . . .
the Tough lie down on the job!
