Fuckin'ell, cheer up you miserable bastard!
Day one was good. 100 miles, and about 2000m of climbing (Garmin suggests 900m less than the event bumf). There was one long climb at the half-way point stood out ('bet it was Iron Mountain), but most of the metres passed by in a lot of rolling ups and downs. All very managable, and worthy of a thumbs up.
The terrain around here is lovely. It hasn't felt quite as wild as the North Of England, but there are still plenty of stunning views, lots of hills and valleys, and tons of very fluid, top-quality route.
Fish and chips and a plain rice pudding for tea. I might go out for a banana in a minute.
Christ knows where my recent mope-fest came from, suffice to say that it's buggered off for a bit.
Must book Yorkshire...
