LEJOG - Day 3

Sandford (Crediton) to Yatton.

The day dawned clear and sunny, a sign of the heat to come. None of us were mentally ready for the day so it took us a little time to gather momentum and actually leave the BnB.

Some hills to start the day but they slowly fell behind us and the day started to flatten out. The pace was good, the legs were improving, but still the hangover of yesterday's heat hampered us.

Converted railway lines and amazing bike paths (some not so amazing) had us off the main roads and away from traffic, and the miles zipped by.

A quick refuel stop about 40km from Yatton had us back on the pedals again, and finally the Strawberry Line delivered us to our accommodation for the evening.

Cold shower followed by beer and dinner. Day done.

130km today, tomorrow is longer.
