Day 2 when downhill is the last thing you want

When you know your destination is at the top of the hills to your left and you've taken the direct route via the valley and you've been riding for 7 hours!!

Good day today. South westerlies and blue skies. Sitting in the White Lion enjoying a hard earned pint.

Wore the SAMs tabard today and interesting seeing reactions. Didn't trigger one conversation just a lot of strange ish looks. Mind u that could have been the tall sweaty heap wearing it!!

Good day today. Felt strong on the hills at the end 1;5 and long.

Highlights

Tarka trail into Barnstable is a great route.
Waitrose cafe is open early on Sunday!!
Don't start your day at the bottom of a 1:5

Today: 70 m Boscastle to Exford via poundstock, Holsworthy, Barnstable

Tomorrow 76m Exford to Bristol
Oh yes. Exford is attbe bottom if a hill! Good planning

  1. You know that old saying of what goes up must come down - well I think you seem to be experiencing the opposite. Mind you if you will stay overnight at somewhere with 'ford' in the name! Enjoy the rest of Exmoor tomorrow - hope you keep dry.
