Just as long as he doesn’t wear ‘that apron’

There was nothing wrong with the Apron.

Yes, I noticed that on a Devon holiday a couple of years ago! I did a lumpy Devon/Somerset ride to Minehead and back from Tiverton.

It would be a rather meandering, but picturesque route, if it that took you that way

Yebbut; having done a little bit of half-hearted research into LEJOG in the past, I was under the impression that there are a lot of similar hills throughout Devon and Cornwall? Someone a lot fitter than me described the first 2 days of LEJOG as soul destroying.

It's not at all soul destroying..

It is what triple chainsets were designed for!

The bike in my photo used to have a 39/29 bottom gear but I was struggling on climbs similar to the steep one I had just climbed before stopping for that photo-op. I fitted a triple and changed the cassette so I now have a much more rider-friendly 28/30 bottom gear for the steep stuff.

At least I won't need to worry about lights!

Out of interest, I checked and she is still on Strava with some recent activity which looks like walking I think.

You might have to request to follow her first?
