The Lone Pedaller

I think the threat of rain may have kept my fellow Pedallers off the road this evening. I bumped into Buster and Robin unloading their mountain bikes but although out on my winterised Crosstrail, I did not have the required chunky tyres to consider suggesting I tag along!

Soggy and steamed up .. just before I was forced to get the rain cape out
Having kitted up, I was not going to turn in for an early bath, so thought I'd do a gentle solo circuit out to Honiton Golf Club and return to Seaton via Offwell and Colyton. After last week's climbing, I thought I'd avoid the hills today and also keep to some of our better roads.

The obligatory photo stop
I did manage, however to pick up a slow puncture from the road to Offwell which the council crew had strewn with hedge cuttings, I do wish they would sweep up after themselves!

The Lone Pedaller
24 miles covered in 1 hr 55 mins inc the obligatory photo stops for a couple of selfies. I did get a bit of a cooling shower on the way out but was rewarded with warm blow dry on my return as the sun came out!
