As my better half decided to buy me a GoPro camera for my birthday the other day, I thought that Wednesday offered the best weather for testing it out...

So off I went

Filled up at Brixton at 0830. I had a hassle free ride as I made my way east. As to be expected, due to our recent rainfall, there was a lot of standing (and running) water in the lanes. Some puddles were extremely deep. I did however plough through each one, but I was slightly anxious on more than one occasion. Especially as I had nobody on hand to assist if needs be.

This was my first time riding around Totnes and beyond, and I must admit...... You lucky gits. There is such a good mix of lanes there and all so close to each other.

I managed to inlclude 202-099 (Tally-ho) but entered it from the top (southern end). I had the intention to attempt to climb this one, but suffered a front puncture on my way down. I made my way to 202-098 where I managed to find a few rocks to prop the DRZ up. Luckily I always carry a couple of tubes and tools. Took about half hour (a tyre change Mclaren would be proud of)

I then started my journey back to Plymouth via Avonwick. Checking in on 202-129 which is still blocked, so a detour was required.

The main purpose of the day was to get used to GoPro. Hopefully, if I manage to edit/upload vids I'll post them on here. (All new to me this movie making)
