Si 5, flies 0

thats day 2 done and we arrived in cheddar, somerset after almost 7 hours of toil. the roads were far less hilly that yesterday, which was a relief to all, especially rob who was really not enjoying the hills of cornwall on day 1. we started far higher up than we finished, or so it seemed because we had a lot of great downhill sections, and on erery one of them i saw rob and dave disappear in the distance... i get a bit shakey when i am doing 35 mph, but rob and dave prefer 45mph! it was never a worry cos i always caught them up on the next ascent. we had a 30 minute off road section following the canal near Taunton in devon, luckily no punctures, although rob nearly had a crash as he passed a 6 year old girl on her bike. i dont think she was happy about his overtaking so she swerved in front of him. he got passed, but was 6 inches from ending in a bush.  later on we had a little bit of road rage with some very slow tractors, dave has an impressive 4 letter word vocabulary... i think he got his point across!! i managed to swallow 2 flies, snort 1 and get another 2 stuck under my helmet... not ideal. the pub at cheddar is nice and we are now off out for a curry. i cant wait as i am in perminant state of hunger.
