Day 6 - Nancledra, Land's End, Penzance
Last day. Under the scorching sun 🌞
The 30°+C accompanied us the whole route, which also meant stopping a lot to recover. While I can understand how brutal Cornwall can be under the rain, this was no joke too.
It was quite sad Land's End being turned into an amusement…

Day 5 - Coverack to Nancledra
So far the best part of the whole journey. Left the beautiful old post office and headed by the south coast, starting from the Lizard.
Later we met goats 🐐 horses 🐎 and a lot of nettle and thorns. The classic komoot experience.

Day 4 - Truro to Coverack
Greeted by a climb shy of 23% just outside of Truro, we went down the mining trail. Which I would not like to do without an MTB Iif it was raining. And even.
We passed through a flooded part of the trail until we decided to cut short a few…

Day 3 - St Austell to Truro
finally starting to get the real Cornwall postcard sceneries. And pasties! Nom!
Some of the climbs done today were pretty brutal, topping at 23%. Same as one of the descent of rough gravel that I wouldn't like to do even on an MTB 😛

Day 2 - Plymouth to St Austell
Finally in Cornwall! Great views, and steep climbs 🥵
At least the weather was more tolerable!
Unfortunate that at least half of the ride was on public road with quite some traffic.
Otherwise it was really lovely! 😍

Day 1 - Exeter to Plymouth
The biggest unexpected guest of today's ride was THE HEAT 🌞. Luckily as we cleared off Dartmoor we also got some head wind too close it on a high note.
