Nice pic. Is that the top of the climb from Dartmeet (or Haytor?). I didn't watch it this year, had to work, but my wife went out to somewhere near Prince Hall or Postbridge for a quick look. I quite fancied seeing them go DOWN Widecombe Hill, which I should think would have been interesting ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

Agree was a great day out, rode up to Haytor and then across to Mortenhampstead for second viewing. Great atmosphere and well supported, great to see so many had ridden up to watch. Had a fast ride back to Exeter as plenty of wheels to suck!
Cav looked like he was suffering up Haytor, but he got a great cheer from everyone.
