One country down! We have left rainy england and are sipping a coffee
on the ferry after a sad goodbye to my (mark`s) girlfriend Jo and
John, our escort for the England leg.

Day one went pretty smoothly, apart from some pannier issues on the
way to trafalgar square,and doing 30km more then planned thanks to the
Full Gas Cycling Club (i.e. Peter de Wit)taking us on the scenic route
out of London!

So after 152km we arrived in Seaford, ever so slightly concerned at
our lack of fitness and heavy bikes! I have also realised my Brooks
leather saddle still needs some wearing in.

A big thank you to everyone who woke up at an obscene hour to give us
a proper send off from Trafalgar square (although the rugby match at
6am probably helped a few to wake up).

Also a BIG thanks to those who have donated to the WCT charity, please
keep it coming!

Now its on to Dieppe. We are going to try and put in a few miles extra
today just to stay ahead of schedule while the legs are fresh!
