Maybe worth a look?

Hopefully once we’re all allowed out to play I’m looking forward to a CTC route, not far for some but a good enough distance with my lack of fitness https://www.cyclinguk.org/route/devon-delight-challenge-ride Beyond that, there’s always a Coast 2 Coast here in Devon, Ilfracombe to Plymouth with the...

For the price it's a bargain and will match a BB Jersey.
It's got to be better than a 6 Yr old Specialised lid which let's the sweat into my eyes... At least I'll be able to see what I'm crashing into!

Looks like a good little read too.
Agreed that the takeaways and bivvy idea is great. There’s a good chippy in Ashburton... maybe next year?

Looking forward to her post ride video...
She’s a south Devon rider now and her videos are fun to watch. I’m sure she will finish but I’d imagine she’d be better asking advice here than on YouTube.
Good luck everyone taking on the challenge this year.

Always nice to come home to a surprise, two parcels one from that man in the middle Wales shed & a replacement camera after the old one was dying at the end of warranty.

Not too much to do with cycling although there is cycling & the odd bivvy but Jasper Winn's book Water ways is quite a nice read.
