Day Two. Sunday 7th Sept 2008

Off we go on day 2. Miraculously no rain and only a light wind. Much better cycling conditions. Strangely we hadn't slept much the night before. I was so pumped up with adrenalin from all the exercise I was ready to go again at about 3am!!!!! After a nice breakfast of cereals and eggs we set off from Greystokes at 10.30 and soon realised that had the weather been better the day before we would have easily made it to the foothills of Hartside as originally planned.
Aided and abetted by our fab support team things were looking good for the start of our climb up Hartside.
