Mt. Biking: Exmoor - Dunster Wind Direction: Wind Stength: Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: ~22°C Sea Temperature: Weather: Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Exmoor Explorer - 500 entrant, although only 400 are allowed to take
part!!
I opted for the short course - a mere 25 miles of slogging up endless
exmoor hills, spending most of the time at or neart the back. Firstly
because I stopped for 15 mins to help my mate repair his broken chain
within the first 2 miles, later because I stopped to help a guy put himself
back together after he went over the bars right in front of me, and
thirdly, \'cos I was holding back cycling with a female colleague.
Actually, that third one is a lie - she was somewhat faster than me on the
climbs (not difficult), though I was faster than her on the descents.
Beautiful day, superb scenery. Great way to spend my wedding anniversary
(no - wife doesn\'t ride!).
