ABC Towns and Villages

Couldn't find a Q even though I've see a few signs with Queues Likely on ...

However

No actual village sign so...

OK, my nearest Q is a 200km round trip away and until today I still needed O and P. There are a few Os and Ps nearby but as a bit of a test ride I thought I'd get a couple further away.

O

P

These were on a ride out from Exeter to Cheddar Gorge, a ride I've been thinking about for a while. Three day weekend and pleasant weather made it possible. It also has given me the confidence to consider going for Q straight from home, although that ride would be considerably more lumpy. I have a week off in October so that would be the time to do it.

213km with 1752m of climbing.

V & W during a spell in Cornwall during the week. Blimey, the terrain is 'undulating'.

Finally got out to the other side of Loughborough to the village of Zouch for its 2nd appearance in the thread and probably not it's last

That's the lot from me; 4 byes but many new roads and lanes ridden. On my first ride after catching A, I thought that I would use as many double-barreled village names as there seemed to be plenty within the county. This turned out more difficult than I imagined but 12 of 22 is respectable first attempt. No other form of transport was used in this collection bar my bike(s)!

Amberley, Barns Green, Christs Hospital, Dial Post, Ellens Green, Fulking, Godards Green, Henfield, Itchingfield, Kirdford, Lurgashall, Monks Gate, Newfoundout, Oving, Partridge Green, Rottingdean, Shoreham by Sea, The Haven, Upper Beeding, wiston VIllage, Wisborough Green and Yapton.

Sadly I shall not be travelling to Leicestershire or Devonshire to collect a Z.

Finally got around to picking up my T although its not really that far away. Have a plan for U but after that its going to get tricky

Some very tasty blackberries from the bush next to the sign too

Are you just visiting the places I used to fish as a kid? I spent many a hour fishing the river at Tickton
