Exeter




Dave skipped off to the bike shop early to get some new front brake pads, while i planned the route for today. We eventually got away about 1030, but made strong progress against the wind, having passed bridgewater by about 1210 and carrying on all the way to Cullompton, where we had lunch at about 1500. We left at about 1540, and arrived at the Exeter hostel by about 1715. Thankfully it stayed dry again, and we had no real issues all day! The only eventful section was navigating the Exeter ring road, more bitty cycle paths and lots of traffic. We even had to cart our bikes over a road bridge! 2 more days, we're hoping our secret weapon is going to arrive tomorrow!
