Today we travelled from Stockton on tees to Carlisle a mere 99 miles. Elevation is not something I've ever been concerned about but today's hills made it feel like we on are way to Olympus. The rigors this puts on your body and bike is immerse, my pedals gave away after so much pushing and everyone thighs were burning with the non stop climbing. We did get to pass Hadrian's wall which led me to admire the construction I can't imagine how much effort it would have taken to build, it's not a job I would apply for, I never even want to see those hills again.
On our lunch break we were reminded of the generosity of people donating to the Zurich Community Trust as two elderly gentlemen enquired what we were doing and dug deep into their pockets, a great reminder of why we are going through this pain and the difference it will make.
Tomorrow is going to be hard with yes.... more hills! ...but with everyone's support we will get through it.
