Day 3

On Day 3 the team enjoyed much better weather - a beautiful Summers day in fact. The riders left Camelford at 9.00 and had a great ride along the north Cornish coast through Boscastle, Widemouth Bay and up to Bude.

The thought of leaving Cornwall forced the riders to have one last Cornish cream tea. Both the cream tea and the setting were superb and it was difficult to leave those idyllic riverside tearooms.

Shortly after leaving Bude the riders entered Devon and had ticked off their first county.

In the meantime the support team made their way north to arrive at the next site, in Great Torrington, by early afternoon. The site is a farm with wonderful views over the Devon countryside and out to sea as far as Lundy island. The riders joined the support team by mid-afternoon after a quite hilly but very enjoyable ride. The route had been varied but mostly small country lanes where anything may turn up around the next corner (usually another hill).

At the end of Day 3 the team had completed 130 miles of the LeJog route and life on the road and in the van / tent is already starting to settle into a routine.
