Obviously an Aubergine
Hoping to do the Devon coast to coast (Ilfracombe to Plymouth) in a few weeks. Likely take 2 or 3 days over it, first proper tour and a new bike to try it on. Now that camping will be allowed, it's a feasible option.

It's a nice route.

I did it South to North a little while back.

Particularly enjoyed the mid Devon section for some reason... Very quiet.

Camped behind Fox and Hounds Inn one night.

Handy for the local 'amenities'

Carbon fibre... LMAO!!!
Mine and dad's Way of the Roses tour is back on!
We're skipping the first 6-7 miles out from Morecambe and Lancaster as dad has to drive a hundred or so miles to mine then we've another 50 ish to the official start, so to expect him to do a 30 mile loaded ride after that is a bit much. I doubt we'll be missing much.
First and last camp sites have been booked and paid for and the sites in between have OK'd our stay with covid in mind.
The bike (mine) has had the racks fitted and the panniers filled in anticipation and I'm itching to get going. Come on late August! Hurry up and get here!
Dad's been out building up his strength (I haven't :shy:) and even he's itching to get going.
Haven't rode with my dad since I was 10 or 11 years old!
