At the turn of the year I made the resolution that I'd
forgo all sportives this year in favour of doing a few epic club and social rides.
It took a bit of time to get going as it was May before my first epic ride, the
Rapha 100 Ride which satisfied both of my passions, the title saying it all! July's investment in wireless gear change triggered the second, a
ride on Dartmoor with club mates.

This weekend, I joined one of my best buddies, a bit of a last minute thing, on a Coast to Coast 100 mile Ride. We did something similar with the club
3 years ago when we were still doing the all comers' 100 milers, bit this was a much quicker and less formal affair. It was perhaps a little bad form to skip my usual Coffee Club Ride, which as default ride leader (for reasons that are still a mystery to me) caused a bit of a stir, but sometimes one just has to do these things! It was a top ride, we had 2 coffee stops in Taunton at the 25 and 75 mile points and a tasty lunch overlooking Blue Ancor Bay on the north coast and on the return to took time out to watch a local steam train. It was a real
boys' own adventure!

Our next epic club ride will be a return to Dartmoor on 27th August to do the Classic's 100 km route.
