Day 1 Scunthorpe - Scarborough

What a day!
The best ever send off we have received, from parents, friends, family and press this morning their must have been about 100 people seeing us off this morning. We rode out of the school through a tunnel of people cheering for us. The police closed all the junctions down out of Scunthorpe so we had a straight ride out of town.

The weather has been kind to us unusually, having been forecast heavy rain and strong winds, we seemed to cloud dodge all day, only getting a little damp this morning from road spray.
At the minute, this is just a quick write up before tea, after we have eaten I will grab all the technology and upload pictures and videos.

The Garmin link is below, showing our ride time of 5 Hours 49 mins for the 85 mile ride:

Everyone managed the ride in fine form today but it is only day 1!

As previously stated, I will put more information on the blog after I have eaten but I am very hungry now
