Out to St Agnes was a breeze although the gears (which I thought I had fixed last night) were playing up.....more of that later.
St Agnes to Perranporth one largish hill and then the reeeeeally challenging bit Perranporth back to Truro hill after hill. I have to admit using the granny ring on my triple (my Trek is a double - much more respectable!) and the 27 on one of the hills - even with this I was out of the saddle for about half a mile - really hard work....
Everything was going well until the chain jammed in the cassette going up a hill obviously I came off (and put a four inch cut in my leg) but the biggest problem was the hill - after I had unjammed the chain I could not get enough momentum to get both feet clipped in so I trudged up hill for about half a mile until the gradient reduced enough so I could get back on!
Anyway back home went okay in a total time/distance 1hr 54min/36.85km....
REST DAY tomorrow :-))))))))))))
