DAY 3 Tavistock-Taunton


FEELING SORE!



Left campsite around 9am had a fab start over Dartmoor, lots of hard climbs over Pork Hill, great views and the weather was lovely, rode past Dartmoor prison and we met another cyclist riding to Dorset. Climbs got really bad after Morten Hampstead. Andy had a problem with his knee today due to too many hills!

Cycled round Exeter and followed the M5 for about 10/15 miles turned East and went under the Blackdown Hills, we got a bit lost here, small country roads. Had lunch at Cullompton from the Spar shop. Joined B road and had a long downhill into Taunton, arrived at site around 3.30pm.

RIDE TIME; 5 HOURS 41 MINS
MILEAGE 76
AVG SPEED; 13.3mph

Us girls managed to sort the tent out and get everything done before the boys got to us, very long grass at the site so wet. Very noisy as the motorway was near it.
