Day 86 - Colyton to Beer

After yesterday's successful ride out to Beer and my new found enjoyment for exploring the Devon country lanes, I headed out this morning to Colyton along the same route taken with the Axe Valley Pedallers last week. Through Colyford and into Colyton past the tram station I rode, not another soul around. Exiting the town up Colyton Hill towards Sidmouth was hard going but once at the top, the ride along the ridge overlooking the rolling hills and the shimmering sea on the horizon was idilic. After a further two miles I crossed over the main Sydmouth to Colyford A3052 at Stafford Cross and, following a tractor, I took the narrow lane down towards Beer.

Stopping briefly to take in the view, I snapped a few pictures. Naturally, Endo' at this point decided to quit again, splitting my journey into 2. I'm beginning to think I need a dedicated unit to track my ride and another to be my ipod and camera. I tried using my old iPhone as my Endo' unit but that suffered battery exhaustion after 30 minutes ... technology, pfft!
