We booked into a lovely B&B, across the road from our meeting point for the start of our ride, and then had a damp but pleasant wander around Penzance. The town is pretty typical for a UK Holliday town with a mixture of boutique style shops and restaurants and the usual more functional shops and cheap cafés. We had a quick pint in the Turks Head Pub, the oldest pub in town, then as it was full up had to move on to eat. We were very fortunate to walk into another nearby restaurant and get a table as we seemed to be the last to get one with loads of people being turned away. We had a lovely meal, largely fish based which was very fresh and then headed back to the B&B.
Monday dawned damp and grey. By the time we has breakfasted it was raining cats and dogs so we went for a drive to Lands End to check out the start point of the ride. The view was a little restricted but we managed to see some lovely countryside. After a very brief stop we headed back into Penzance and spent the rest of the morning just milling about as it slowly brightened to a point where we has some nice views across the bay to Michaels Mount.
After lunch we sorted my gear ready for tomorrow and tonight we meet up with others of the group at the pub across the road.
Zoë has left us now, the weather has been pants so she has headed off to battle the BH traffic and an overnight visit with an old friend in Cullhampton, splitting the journey home.
Tomorrow the adventure will begin.
