Day 3 - Bye bye Devon, Hello Somerset...

Miles Cycled: 58
Punctures: 1
Amusing Placenames: 2

Felt good this morning - legs were raring to go, no complaints from elsewhere-hot to trot for day three. Leaving Exeter through the rolling hills felt really good-we had a following wind, the sun was cooler than previous days due to the patchy cloud, and the planned route was more relaxed-only 55 miles.

The rolling hills of Devon soon gave way to the rolling hills of Somerset - really good news for the average speed: 10mph for the day, and I also set the new trip fastest speed: 45.4mph.

Just to satisfy the sillier side of my sense of humour (threshold lowered by long hours pedalling, i'm sure) we passed through Coat and Puckington today.

And this evening we find ourselves in Street, a town right at the bottom of a hill - it's very strange when the GPS says the town is less than half a mile away and you can't see it!

Thanks today to Original 106 for another great hookup - don't forget to listen out on Saturday 11-12 for the next update on Alex' show.

Till next time,
