Another lovely weekend to be out on the bike, but such a busy one with my sister coming to visit, that I just managed to snatch two quick morning rides. To be honest, however, this was about all my legs could muster, I can feel a couple of rest days coming up!
On Saturday, I rode out and up Seaton Down Hill and back in towards the sea at Stafford Cross via the pig farm and caves into Beer. Two motor cycles and a van attempted to take me out, but quick reactions and a crafty overtaking manoeuvre saved the day. Returning to Seaton, I then took the Axmouth road out to complete a loop of Colyton, taking in the stunning views across the estuary to the Beer cliffs in the distance.
Sunday, was the day of the
Jurassic Classic, a cycling fund raising event in aid of prostate cancer with 3 rides, 50 km, 100 km and 100 miles, the latter, I discovered on my short morning ride, came through Seaton!
I passed a stream of riders through Axmouth and along the sea front, I hasten to add, they were going in the opposite direction! May be I'll join them next year ;)
