Day 28 - The Hill

The Hill has been conquered. Another day of firsts with both the assent of Seaton Down Hill and a new speed record of 28.7 mph ... that's a big hill!  It took 14 minutes to climb and 3 minutes to descend and having misplaced my woolly hat, the -3c air temperature with wind chill left my head feeling somewhat numb!

The remainder of the route was very much as yesterday, on through Colyford and returning via Axmouth along that miserable excuse of a road surface - another note to self to start campaign for more cycle routes. The sky was supposed to be clear this morning, so I took along my camera hoping to catch some great sunrise pictures, but I must have been out too early as the sky was milky and the low hanging early morning mist gave poor visibility and insufficient light. Not as good as yesterday.
