Major headwind today, and the weather started very wet. Set off across whatever benighted moor we were staying on, and gradually descended down towards the A roads. Crossed the A38. Considering the headwind, and the fact that it was mostly A roads it was a very good day. The roads … Read on →

Great day mooching across Dartmoor. Still a headwind today but really didn’t matter as I was just bimbling. Took more pictures today than I did all the previous week. Dartmoor was magnificent and was a lovely ride. Also a great descent into Tavistock. The second half of the day included … Read on →

Long long day. Only managed to take a couple of photos because the camera had got damp in the night. Last nights pub was next to the canal, and my route took me over a bridge this morning. After that I found the White Horse and tried to take its … Read on →

Mostly A roads down the Fosseway which isn’t really any place for a cyclist. From Stratford to Cirencester was all on the A429 which is big and unpleasant. There was a highlight here – there was a huge traffic jam coming into Stow, and I just cycled past the edge … Read on →

Started this morning with a 10 mile descent down a cyclepath into Ashbourne. The cyclepath was excellent. I knew at any moment it would throw me out onto a main road but it didn’t. It kept going right into Ashbourne. There’s a tunnel at the end of the path and … Read on →

Cycle path from York to Selby is excellent. Really nice with its own Solar System, and some nice sculpture. Not sure why anyone would want to cycle to Selby though. What to say about Selby to Chesterfield? Well, my mom always said “If you don’t have anything good to say, … Read on →

Really didn’t want to leave this morning. Took a lot of persuading to go, though really in my heart I knew I couldn’t stop. The point of the trip had been to do this together. Clare would have had adult company, the kids would have had friends and I would … Read on →

Shaun was not up to the ride this morning, so I set off and left him at the campsite. We discussed what he would do, and he planned to go to the site in Consett and meet me there. I suggested that if he didn’t get any better over the … Read on →

This would be a “Milestone Day”. Today we would pass from Scotland into England. Today we would cross the City of Edinburgh. Today was our second +100 mile day. We left the comfort of the tents at 7am and set off to the cyclepath that took us alongside the A92 … Read on →

Started later this morning. Shorter day, and Shaun took his bike off to a cycle shop in Pitlochry to have the tyre sorted. Once on our way we set off to Pitlochry, then straight through and, nearly at the A9, realised this was wrong. Went back and picked up route … Read on →
