Day 1 - Epsom to Portsmouth
Massive breakfast at Neil's house. Natalie from the hospice said a heartfelt thank you. Everyone comments that jane would have loved this. There is so much food on offer, bacon... Delicious! Excellent to catch up with old friends.
And then the big packing up. Will it all fit in??? Neil, Pat and Semih have supreme confidence that we can, and amazingly they are right.
We are all ready for the sending off. Before we start we have a minutes silence for contemplation.
Disasters on day 1
Punctures - James and a couple of others, all fixed in no time!
Derallieur on one of the bikes collapse from a stone jamming in it
Matt G knocked over before even arriving at Neil's
And then James P epically crashing after skidding on gravel and hitting a pothole... Big bruising on shoulder, hip, knee and elbow... Saved by his helmet he has an uncomfortable night and decides to spend day 2 in the car! Not a good start...
