End of day one on the bike and we’ve only got 1454 miles to go! Scorchio today. 40 degrees, no punctures but very, very hot feet on metal pedals. Hadn’t reckoned on that. Barbara reckons the wind feels like a hairdryer. Now on Greek coast at Brinia.

In the race for the start at the Ancient Olympic site between Medway and KCC (Robin works for Medway Council and Barbara for KCC) you can clearly see Medway are the winners although KCC claimed a false start. Bad losers some would say. Dinner beckons. That will be er,,,,,,, Greek salad.
