Day one was good 128 k in the saddle, he met all types of people so plenty of material for his blog, wind in his face all day though.

Day 2 tougher I think, 100 k and v windy with rain. Niall made up for this by booking into a v plush B&B , like a destination spa , he will have left this morning feeling rejuvenated! Is nt that right Niall!!!

He just needs a little help from the wind gods I think.

Final instalment of Niall's spin report appeared tonight, and just like all the previous ones it's an honest, entertaining, thought-provoking read. Really enjoyed these Niall, made us feel a little bit involved in the big adventure. :D
