Hell of Mid Devon

Have spent 3 hours today being pounded by the great road surfaces in Devon. A full suss mtb would be more appropriate. Could be that i wasn't up for todays ride, felt like hard work all the way. It was a tad hilly, into a head wind, and i rode a steady 25 miles last night, but i guess this is what it's going to feel like for a week in June!
Had a wicked descent, down Dunsford hill, from Mortenhampstead back to Exeter. One of those descents where its just pure joy hurtling down the road surrounded by the woods feeling at one with the bike and road!
I read somewhere recently that to help recover from long rides you should have a little snooze afterwards, ha, ha. My recovery was watching 20 mins of the end of the Chelsea v Man Utd game (nice result) always new Chelsea could catch 'em. And then 5 hours of gardening! Should make for an interesting ride tomorrow.
See ride details on above posting.
