Spoilt for choice for 'B' here in Devon. Had ideas of getting another far flung one but woke up and just didn't fancy being so far from home so a local one for me today.
B is for Broadclyst
Still managed a long ride though. Left at half seven for a 30km loop out to Killerton House (a nearby National Trust property) and got my photo then met up with the local cycling club for their Intro Ride which took me to 88km. Thought it'd be rude not to round it up to a metric century so finished off with a visit to the local hill climb course.
Finished on 102km with 1160m of climbing, now resting!

Not going to get out to bag any letters today as wife not well. Will see if she can manage / wants to do a short walk later to get some fresh air.

Managed to do the first eight letters in a 50km ride today (https://www.strava.com/activities/2104297252)- shame the rest of the alphabet isn't going to be quite so easy! Strictly speaking I got one of them slightly out of order (A,B,C,D,F,G,E,H), but that's just because it would have been a massive pain to backtrack all that way having already gone through two other villages that had letters I needed.

Cracking haul for the distance.

Well to be fair, the first two are virtually outside my door, so it was really only 6 in 50km. However it does get harder from here on in. My best option for "I" is 20km away and "J" is 35km in completely the opposite direction, so they'll both have to be done on separate rides.
