A very hilly day. Have worked out the code in the route sheets - 'climb' means you will be out of breath. 'Steep climb' means you need all your gears and 'very steep climb' means weaving all over the road.
After a hilly morning we then climbed steadily up onto Dartmoor; like all moors this is up in the clouds and so very wet and cold. An unenjoyable couple of hours was topped off with a rough and steep descent off the moor, during which a wet cattle grid threw me off my bike :( Bike obviously blamed me as it smacked me in the face too. Had a spectacularly bloody but painless graze on my knee, so got lots of sympathy. In fact yesterday's sunburn was hurting a lot more.
