Devon

Seven days to go before we start the trip. I've cycled about 70 miles this week and I'm feeling ok.I rode 33 miles yesterday following the River Otter from the coast. Thankfully there were no huge hills on the ride and only a slight beeeze. I'm finding it impossible to ride over hills greater than 1 in 5 which are common in Devon.
I spoke to dad yesterday and he has struggled to get out on his bike as much as he would like. I'm sure he'll be fine once he's got his cycling legs back. I'm strongly advising him to keep his bike as light as possible by reducing the amount of luggage he carries.
Mike is busy training in Angelsey and has been preparing with regular visits to the gym.
Jill and I are visiting Exeter today for her birthday. We're moving onto Cornwall tomorrow with the promise of good weather and a wifi connection.
