Cycle to Sweden - day 2

Beer, Devon to Ringwood, Dorset

Today was supposed to be a 75 mile ride... it ended up being 91m! A bit of rerouting to avoid main roads, plus some major getting lost caused that. It's been a nice day of cycling along the south coast though, with some great scenery.

The roadkill count today however has been fairly low really, just a couple of stinking badgers and a fox. You notice these things on a bike! I almost caused some more when some moronic teenagers suddenly walked across the road and I had to swerve through them at 20mph.

It was another hot day and I couldn't refill the water bottles fast enough, but found a petrol station then a cafe along the way to help me out.

Cycle to Sweden - day 1

Home to Beer, Devon 

What a first day on the road. Blazing sunshine, quiet roads and no problems whatsoever (the bad news is that it can only get worse!). 

By chance my brother got home early and my sister was off work Ill, so after my last pasty for a while, I had a full family send off from the farm which was great, albeit 5 hrs after I planned. This blog uses the word dreckly for a reason!

I use a route tracking thing on my phone when cycling so I'll put up the route every day. Today is here.
