Day 32 - Back to the Cycle

Inspired by yesterday's walk, I took off this early frosty morning on the same route, but what a climb it is up Bunts Lane before dropping down through the woods to the seasonal water splash. I would have loved to have been able to have continued on along Old Beer Road, but the land slip last year has now closed the road to all traffic forever .. very sad as this was a very picturesque coastal road and path for cyclists and walkers alike. So, I had to climb again, up the new Beer Road. All these hills!

One adventure on the circuit was my first slipped chain event. Doing a sharp turn from Marlpit to Bunts Lane, having performed a quick change down, I had to brake hard to avoid an oncoming car coming around the blind corner. The combination of events dropped my chain off the central cog. Luckily it all looked worse than it was and all now seems OK.

What surprised me about the bicycle v biped mode, was that walking the circuit supposedly burned 100 more calories, my body, however, would say otherwise!
