Day 1

Well we made it to Dover! Turned out to be a beautiful day for cycling. Got lost two or three times, but not badly. A big thank you to the Milestone Marble Cafe on the A226 near Dartford for their hospitality to cyclists needing facilities. We tried to buy drinks, but they wouldn’t let us pay. Thank you also to the lorry driver en route who donated £5 to us on the spot.
Score one trashed tyre and two inner tubes. Interesting potholes on some of the route.
Writing this in the bar of the Premier Inn. Support crew very disappointed that Lenny isn’t here . Suspect the staff get fed up of being asked. Need to get to bed soon as 7.30 ferry in the morning. Night all.
