Day 356 - A Return to Lyme

It is Thursday and this means clear weather and another ride out with the AVP.  Tonight we decide on a cycle out to the Cobb at Lyme Regis, a route I've certainly not done since last September when we were still in shorts and t-shirts .. oh how I'm looking forward to summer!


8 of us rode out through Axmouth and up Combe Road and along the A3052 down into Lyme Regis. At the Cobb a few of us dipped our tyres in the sea before taking the promenade and making our way out of Lyme via the Lane End Farm to Red Lane Climb. You know that when you go out to Lyme, there will always be a serious bit of climbing.


As I rode with Ed along the promenade, we chatted about what film score we would add to the ride - as you do. I had been unsuccessfully trying to snap some shots of us on the move, with such a slow shutter speed on my phone camera these did not come out; I did, however, capture on video much of our chat and my near collision with a traffic barrier - such are the dangers of being the on-location camera man!

After a short blast along the A35, we returned south along Trinity Road, down Green Lane to Combe Road and back through Axmouth to Seaton, with only the temporary traffic lights on Harbour Road slowing our progress. Another great ride out with the AVP, 21 miles and 2,054 of climbing completed.
