The weather this morning was as warm as yesterday but without the sun and with a little more of a breeze blowing. Indeed, I would not be surprised to see a little rain later. It was therefore, good weather for a cycle ride and if it keeps this up, we may even see shorts appearing by the end of the week!
For my listening pleasure, I've taken to having an audio book on the go during my circuits. I find them less intrusive than loud thumping music, as I might otherwise have, when listening out for cars and other obstacles along my route. Today it was Dead Men, Stephen Leather's 5th book in his Dan Shepherd series. I actually started this last week thinking it was one that I'd had on my 'to listen to list' only to get that déjà vu feeling after the first few lines. I do actually have a Audible credit available so could switch to something else but having the memory of a gold fish, I'm enjoying the story again, so will stick with it for the time being.
As for the circuit, it was a quick one, probably because I cut out the normal uphill start by heading off down Harepath and the more gentle climb to Colyford. The route barrée from Saturday is now cleared and road reopened, we are therefore rejoined to Axminster and feeling less cut off from the outside world. Returning via Axmouth, I completed my circuit with a climb up Castle Hill under the encouraging watchful eye of those standing at the bus stop below!
