I had a fab ride around Exmoor with Gary today.  It always feels like going on holiday – riding somewhere completely different but without following little signs.  I tried really hard to take some rain with me, but had to settle for damp cloud instead, clearly my weather goddess powers were having an off day…;)

We did some hills.  Because that’s the only option around there really.  In fact we did what may well be my favourite hill – Porlock toll road.  I think if I lived there I’d just ride to it and go up and down all day! :D.  It’s long, not too steep, quiet, scenic, just lovely.  One day when I ride up there there may even be views…!  Which sounds like a very good excuse to go back and do it again if you ask me *grin*.

Here goes:

There.  Enough pictures for you? Well I have more…

Bit short on words today, can you tell?

For whatever reason, I really enjoyed it.  I didn’t expect to.  I didn’t beat any records.  But I went up the hills and I loved going down the hills.  The whole ride put a smile on my face :).  More please!
