Tavistock to Sampford Peverell, UK
57 miles, 5,574 feet of climbing
Our tour leader recently informed us that the first three days of this tour are the most difficult of the entire tour. That is nice to know, especially considering today is day three. Nevertheless, it was another amazing day on the bike. We started the day with a seven mile "gentle-ish" climb in the sunshine, and, 57 miles later, ended our ride in the sunshine. In between, it rained intermittently - sometimes lightly and sometimes hard. I would estimate the lion's share of our riding today was done in the sunshine. For the second half of the ride, the terrain flattened out a bit and we were able to cruise along at a good speed. All in all, despite the rainy intervals, we had a fun ride with plenty of time to enjoy the spectacular views.
