This is a virtual tour due to travel restrictions resulting  from the Covid-19 pandemic. I find that these imaginary tours provide great motivation to workout inside because  the temperatures are too cold for me to ride outside. I also enjoy learning about an area new where I have not traveled.

I decided to be conservative and allow myself 84 days to the over 1000 miles. Right now I am planning on about 20 mile rides.

I can see how Land's End got its name.

I checked out the link listed above and found how much I did not know about Cornwall and Cornish people, a Celtic ethnic group and a minority in the country. I have a lot to learn.

Tregiffian Burial Chamber from about 1900 B.C.

Penzance is a vacation spot, like other places around. I wonder is there were pirates here. I'll ask Gilbert and Sullivan.

I am still working on remembering to ride on the left side of the road. Drivers were polite on these country roads.

Passing through many small towns and easy to get food, supplies and lodging. Many travel along this route and you can meet many travelers.

I have traveled over 100 miles so far.
