An intrepid piece of cocknockery took place this Saturday last. 9 idiots embarked from a few train stations and convened on Afjannerstan, Exeter the objective, with as much off-road between as was possible/reasonable ( in our view ).

that's that. 100km. 4300m of climbing, according to the MonkeyMeter.
ace. a few faces sadly couldn't make it, but those who did, were well up for it. a few snags along the way, cramp for some, one slightly borked mech, and one puncture. perfect weather.
most importantly good company, and a good laugh. thanks lads. a day to remember.
V good.
You lucky, lucky people.

I think he's got something in his hair that you must have left behind. 😉
it does hang around in a dormant state if it doesn't find an immediate host.
Great stuff!!
Del - I think you'd like Richard Herring & Andrew Colling's podcasts : )
Great stuff, where dld you go after Bowermans Nose ? It looks like you took a right turn & ended up in TM's back garden!
did the 'Hobbit Trail', manaton Church to Water, stopped at the Kestor for refreshments, then bottom of the Cleave via 'Plague', down the RHS of the river to the Railway.
then Bovey, Chudleigh Knighton, Chudleigh, Harcombe (sp?), 'Teapot' and St. Andrews.
ace 🙂
Top day out indeed 😀
Highlight of the day for me was watching Jimbob's sudden burst of energy when he thought he'd smelt OAP badger... oh and the Weasel almost losing it through Bellever rock garden.
Tavistock to Teignmouth next then??
Good one Del - concur and all that 🙂 Still have a compacted perineum!
Like the surly unimpressed ****er to my left in the map shot....Oh hang on...he's the one who accused me of having a granny fetish 🙄
Oke - Belstone - Chagford - N Bovey - Cleave - NA is my offering especially if you want oestrogen converting gnarr
Shiny - is that the same "to my left" from the junction before we got the map out and you actually meant right? 😛
Nice looking spin. Would be cool to see a map route of it.
Looks brilliant, can't wait to get back on the bike, and can't wait to get back to sunny Exeter.
