Praa Sands - I pressume

Found Praa Sands this weekend and it was certainly worth the detour from my 'planned' cycle route. I use the word planned in its loosest sense.

All I had decided before setting off on Saturday was to cycle to the Lizard and stop there for a coffee.

Got there in good time (c 2 and half hours) and felt fresh: freshness was confirmed when someone was chatting to at coffee stop remarked that I 'looked like I had only walked across the road' to cafe.

If only he could have seen my for last 20 miles of cycle (from Hayle back to Perranporth), when I was 'hurting'... so fatigued I was coasting even on the slightest declines. Also right foot felt sore where cleat goes - shoe problem?

Overall felt satisfied with my effort - hope I covered c 70 to 80 miles - and I had a nice breakfast and two nice (origin) coffees.
P.S. Picture is Kynance Cove; somewhere I almost went when I left the Lizard. Maybe next time.
