We are down on the Friday night and sampling the delights of the Wise Man if you are interested in some pre-ride liquid carbo loading.

It seems Wessex fever is spreading this year; all 30 places are accounted for I'm told.

No Wessex rides THIS year planned, he says. but he will do them before too long....

being a (virtual) Wessex virgin may I ask what the "rather hilly leg" is?

Pete Mas · « **Reply #15 on:** 24 April, 2012, 10:52:37 pm »

Many thanks for the GPX veloboy. They look great, apart from stage 2 link, which I can't get to work.

The route to Crediton is no worse than the Dorset Coast.

Then it gets hilly.

I wouldn't worry too much Martin.

I'd say it's comaprable to some of the 100k rides you have put on/ridden in West Sussex, just 3 times as long.

I see it goes through Topsham. The Bridge Hotel was once one of my favourite pubs of all time. Might have to stop and check if it is still as good.

This is a very fine pub and I don't think the route ventures too far from it.

Do you remember the landlord, Norman? He has sadly passed away but his duaghter runs it instead.

It may yet turn out to be a good port in a storm.
