17th November

I spent last week in Cornwall with Jez.  We decided to head to the West Country for some nice sea air and some different riding scenery.   it was my first proper week back on the bike after a good rest off my bike and I was looking forward to riding again.

 Our accommodation was breathtaking! it sat just 5 steps away from  the cliff edge called "Glebe Cliff" just 1 mile from Tintagel. 

We explored some of the  places I've not been back to  since I was 10 years old.  It was good to see nothing much has changed as it is still as beautiful as ever.   We did some really nice coastal rides and got lost quite a bit which was fun!  Some of the climbs we did where 30% and boy did we feel it especially as I took the wrong cassette with me, so I was on a 21" not a 25".   Needless to say I found it tough going after a few hours.  It was a good excuse to stop off in Padstow and eat some very scrumptious cakes! to get us back home of course!

This weekend we are going to Dorset to house sit and get some country rides in.  This time I have my 25" gear ready as Lyme Regis hill is a tough one along with the many others in the area.

Happy riding!
