55 miles around South Devon and Dartmoor today on the Madone 9. A bit grippy in the wind so deep section removed for box going up - 4850 feet. Nice to be out.

I will be visiting friends in your the Exeter area June 2-5 or so. Are there group rides in the area?
Thanks!

How does that bag not rub your thighs? I have to cut the velcro seatpost strap off a small saddle bag to avoid rubbing, and I have very little fat on my body/legs, normal stance, average width hips etc. I guess it has something to do with the amount of saddle setback but you have a fair bit. If I need to carry that much gear, I have to hire a following van
Anyway - good to see someone out on a big adventure.

Haha that's just commuting to work. Easy way to knock out 95km
The backs of my legs just touch the bag at the bottom of the pedal stroke but its barely noticeable.

Exeter Wheelers and Mid Devon spring to mind. I moved here 4 years ago and ride alone on the whole. Where are you going to be based ?
