A good first day with fine weather though strong easterly winds. Found a pal in Al the copper who used to live in Ivybridge and then later with David, Andrew and ivor who were all a similar pace. Undulating roads and at times heavy and fast traffic made it more like a long distance commute rather than a regular long ride for me though fun to see some fresh roads at last. Looking forward to exercising local knowledge tomorrow as we cross the moors. Great organisation from DA with breaks every 25 miles or so. Last 3 miles on a38 particularly hairy with evil crosswinds. 75 or so miles with the all important calorie count of 2860. Leg and foot ok to date. Must keep 'spinning,.
Keep on pedalling.

Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteI know the run 'DOWN' to Exeter has some nasty little 'UPS' in it - then flat to Sampford
If you are in THE GLOBE HOTEL make sure you sample the best beer of the whole trip ==> EXMOOR GOLD!!
Should fuel you up for the run to Wales!
Well done all of you
Well done Martin! We're following you all the way :)
