We are back briefly from our travels. I am playing for the Gloucestershire Old Men tomorrow in a must win game against Wales. We played on the first day of the last Test Match as well so fingers crossed\u00a0both results are the same again!<\/p>\n
Bit more about the Exmouth Exodus the bike ride from Bath to Exmouth all through the night. When eventually all our party had assembled we left Bath around 10 p.m. (my party was a youthful one apart from yours truly!) The tunnels just outside of Bath were great and the early\u00a0part of the ride was on a cycle path. As the evening wore on,\u00a0traffic, apart from the odd car was non-existent;\u00a0a lovely feeling so we often were able to ride two or three abreast. I mentioned Cheddar yesterday and I was very tentative on the descent!\u00a0Inevitably there were some slogs up the Devon Hills! Ride was well organised and after 30 miles we had a food stop courtesy of the local scout group.\u00a0You realised then that there were quite a few of us at this point! There was another food stop at 60 miles. Watching dawn break over a tranquil Devon\u00a0boosted our resolve. Finally around 8 a.m. we settled down to a splendid fry up in the caf\u00e9 in Exmouth, we certainly needed it!\u00a0Although we kept munching on route\u00a0once we sat down to eat you realised how many calories you had used up! Finally we had to pedal back to David’s house in Exeter (120 miles altogether.)\u00a0 Meanwhile our Peter was\u00a0taking part in \u00a0Ride London so we reckoned all in all the Church<\/strong> boys were cycling for well over 15 hours continuously\u00a0. Perhaps we all need our\u00a0heads examined?<\/p>\n Looking forward to the weekend. We are up in Town watching Pete in the London Triathlon and on Saturday night we are going to see War Horse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We are back briefly from our travels.
