LEJOG 17 - Day 2, 11th June. Okehampton - Bath (108 miles)

It couldn't be worst than day one could it? Thankfully it wasn't. In fact day 2 was exactly the opposite of day one. It was dry, lovely views, great roads, no mechanicals, no excessive stopping, hilly but we enjoyed a great tail wind. We even cycled well as a group, each taking turns at the front, and we covered the miles quickly. We covered the 108 miles in less than 6 hours and would have made Bath before 4pm had the lunch been slightly less leisurely (reminder to self, this is not a race!).
Cheddar Gorge was stunning, as was much of Devon and we are now in Somerset.

There were less fines for inappropriate behavior today as we are learning the "rules".
Willis - for dressing head to toe in team Sky gear.
Cormac - for excessive faffing
Azon - again for overly liberal use of his chamois cream to the outside of his shorts
Graham - for eating breakfast in full cycling kit and wearing his helmet at lunch
No fines today for Jones and Robin.

Bring on day 3

Day 2 couldn't have been any different from day 1!

Bath was a great place to end a great day
