Mt. Biking: Cwmcarn Wind Direction: Wind Stength: Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: 15 - 20C Sea Temperature: Weather: Sunny Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Took day off work as I had a wedding to attend in Hampshire in pm. However,
with the Exmoor Explorer coming up on Sunday, and not having been on my
bike for weeks I decided I needed some exercise.
So, arriving in Cwmcarn at 09:00 and setting off right away, I was pretty
much alone on the trail.
Within about 1/2 a mile I was seriously gasping for air. After about 1 mile
into the climb, I was seriously knackered. Had to keep stopping for short
breaks to catch my breath. As it turns out, I made it to the top in record
time (for me) - 54mins. So I must have been pushing myself harder than
normal. And with no-else accompanying me, there was no waiting for
one-another or stopping to admire the scenery.
Good, dry Cwmcarn ride, but I'm sure the trail is eroding rapidly - there
are a lot more rocks & tree roots showing through than last time.
