Day 36 - Ten Miles

It's starting to feel like spring is finally here and while the air is still too call to shed the layers, the sun is certainly now giving off some warmth when out of the wind. So, into the sun I rode this morning with the 10 mile challenge in my sights.

I took the 3 hills and visited the landslip closed road, where the council have now erected a very permanent steel fence and signs redirecting walkers onto the upper road to continue their coastal path walk are now in evidence. Nature one, human occupation nil.

Heading down hill to the sea and harbour I reverse the circuit I completed a couple of weeks ago through Axmouth, Colyford and into Colyton. It is an absolutely beautiful day to be out on the bike. My return journey takes me down Seaton Road, across to Harepath and the 90 right to join Seaton Down Hill for the exhilarating, but controlled - after yesterday - decent into Seaton.

Endomondo reports I've completed 10.5 miles but on closer inspection it obviously lost its GPS signal at the start as it's missed a good mile of the route .. so today's circuit was more like 11.5 miles. Also, I'm surprised to see that I've covered 115 miles over the past 35 days, I would never have believed this possible 6 weeks ago!
