You have written a good advert for them Paul. Always interesting to see what opportunities exist for riding elsewhere.

Thanks for positve replies, makes the effort of doing a write up worthwhile when you know people enjoy reading it. smile

Lets fill up the away from Devon section, with more stuff from UK or abroad. It's good to have inspiration from others experiences. I'm sure there are plenty of people on this forum who could entertain us with the stories of their bike trips....

This sort of thing?

I went across the border to Cornwall recently when I had a day free unexpectedly.

Travelling along a long wet lane known to the locals as Pipe lane I was just wondering how best to avoid falling off as I approached the two metal pipes which cross the lane at a 45 degree angle, when with my attention focussed a dozen yards ahead on the obvious tricky bit, I failed to motice that one section of the lane, which was flooded and running with water from bank to bank, was still nor broken, and rather deep, water. I went from standing up on the pegs to being draped across the handlebars in the blink of an eye, making me very glad of my handlebar pad, as the front wheel went down into the hole, bouncing out again at a tangent and causing me to detour into the scenery. Braking to a hold atop the bank with a face full of greenery I managed to stop before the back wheel at least left the road. Oops.

Got to laugh though.
