The weather was surprisingly kind to us with minimal wind and while the sky was in the main overcast, the rain passed us by.
We started out from Bovey Tracy and took in Haytor, Ashburton, Holne (now there's a hill), Princetown and returned via Postbridge and Manaton. The first 25 miles contained the majority of the 5.5k feet of climbing, such that the second half was considerably more enjoyable. We're hoping this is also the way of the Classic route!
The sights across the moors are so beautiful that there were photo ops a plenty!
Oh yes, and I left the AVP jersey behind, in favour of my RideLondon Team Diabetes UK colours for which I am still on the look out for sponsorship, should you be feeling generous today here is the link ..http://www.justgiving.com/Jonathan-Read-Bone ... I've said to my club members that if I get, say 5 club sponsorships in the next 3 weeks (I've already had one), I'll wear the AVP jersey for the Dartmoor Classic itself!
