From the title just a cycle blog update. Not quite a bicycle made for 2! I mentioned last time I had quite a bit of cycling ahead of me. On Friday I joined my mate Colin on a lap of their epic ride from John O’Groats to Lands End (most people do it the other way!). I did 60 miles with them and although they were tired the had a few decent climbs to tackle. It was humbling to join them and I tried to take on the role of “cycling Domestique”.<\/p>\n
Clare and I then had nostalgic camp at Morthoe in Cedric our camper. We used to go there camping regularly with the boys for our holidays. Lovely walk on the Saturday morning, till we joined the boys to go and watch the rugby at Exeter.\u00a0We camped in Topsham not too far from Dave’s house.<\/p>\n
Sunday saw me join the lads for a cycle on Dartmoor, stunning views, great climbs especially the second climb of Haytor from the village of Islington, and rapid descents! Even the bird watching from the saddle was good; saw\u00a0a Cuckoo, Stonechat,\u00a0Pipits, Skylark and numerous raptors! Now back in Frampton\u00a0watching the rain!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
