Easter Sunday Ride

Having survived touring for the day in Brittany in glorious weather! I went out on Easter Sunday's club ride thinking Spring, daffoldils etc but no we had miles of wind, rain & hail!! Never mind the company was good and the route was superb from Topsham - Woodbury - Lympstone - Exmouth (where we were nearly all blown off our bikes!), we managed to get to Sidmouth for lunch where I handed round easter eggs instead of jelly babies! While we sheltered from yet another hail storm! Then back to Ottery for a hot cup of tea, Alyesbere - Clyst St Mary then home. Arrived home at 5.15pm having left at 9.00 am! Johnnie was just beginning to wonder where I was! I had to take a picture of my speedometer as I don't really think I managed to do a max speed of 84.48 miles per hour - do you???!! But the machine read - distance 78.94 miles/average speed 14.97 mph and ride time 5hrs 16min - is it right or not?

We then went to Killerton on Easter Monday with friends and as you can see they all had a great Easter Egg hunt and ate more chocolate - Sadly the grownups didn't get a look in - never mind think of the calories saved less pedalling to do!!
