A blustery blast

Friday 23rd August

Last night we did our last big after work ride - hoorah! Down on the Quay we instantly noticed the chilly breeze, it was feeling distinctly autumnal. It will soon be time for long trousers and long fingered gloves!

We headed for Exmouth via Woodbury and Woodbury Salterton. I usually enjoy this route, but my legs were feeling tired and it seemed like a long slog. Seems silly when we did 84 miles at the weekend, but I guess that's why we need a 'rest' week before the big trip. Stopping to use the facilities in Woodbury we came across a delivery man who noticed our Jurassic Classic numbers which were still on our bikes. So, having filled him in on our adventures, we went on our way again.

Once in Exmouth, we went via the Marina and then had a quick blustery ride along the seafront before turning back for home, adding another 27.85 miles to the training log.




I can now count the rest of our training rides on one hand! This time next week we should be arriving in London ready for the big day. Yikes!!
