Welcome to 2 years later…
Can you believe it’s nearly 2 years since our last blog post?
Back in May of 2020 we were wondering whether we would get to do a french bike trip in the summer (we didn’t). And now it’s 2022 and things are quite different.
Our kids are now 18 and 16 and more excited about a warm holiday relaxing than cycling. The whole family still cycle a lot, mainly indoors over the winter, and I’m probably the one who uses the bike bike least to be fair.
Even though we’ve been landlocked for 24 months due to Covid restrictions, Lara and I did do a multi day ride last summer. Our first ride without the kids and it was actually quite fun. I have no idea why we didn’t think to write about it. I guess mainly because it was quite last minute.
A youth camp that we were due to help with got cancelled, so rather then let our busy lives consume the planned time, we decided to “pivot” and go for a ride instead.
The Devon Coast to Coast seemed like a good option so we planned and rode the route from ilfracombe to Plymouth over 3 days, returning by train(s).
Maybe we’ll get round to reviewing the trip in more detail now that we’ve remembered about your blog. Maybe we’ll actually plan another trip this year, Covid permitting.
Either way, we’ll make more of an effort to keep this thing up to date as life returns to a little bit more like normality.
