A day of 2 halves. Before lunch it was hilly, but all short and sharp.
As per Woody's comments, Martin tempted fate which then brought a
terrible revenge down upon us. The hills became long, sharp, with some
horribly steep bits in the middle of the already very steep bits.
Total respect to the Tour de France riders.
Martin had a rant on every hill. I came in for some serious stick for
the route - prettyness and safety over speed and directness. Gorgeous
roads, great views, not much traffic. No navigation blunders. And I
get complaints about a few little hills.
So tomorrow Martin is in charge of the route - which apparently is
"north". So if u hear about any accidents on the M5 caused by slow
moving cyclists, you'll know who it was.
However we got to the end in a respectable time, a bit later than
hoped due to the shopping trip for shoes (did we mention that).
In tomorrow's blog we will discuss the concept of "awareness", and
decide who has it and who is challenged in 1 or more of the several
categories of awareness.
Woody is sunburnt. Martin is a little grumpy (nothing a couple of
beers and a good nights sleep won't cure I amsure), Mike is pretty
happy, Dean has a sore backside.
Great news is my brother has arrived to drive for a few days.
Heading for Wellington via Okehampton tomoorow.
Meanwhile we are all filled with curry and eager to go to sleep. And
looking forward to a less hilly day tomorrow.
Good night all.
Simon
