sawylOut for an early ride this morning, in an attempt to take advantage of the cool start to the day. Trip wasn't bad although, thanks to my choice of route, I found myself doing the same 100m hill climb twice in reasonably quick succession: once, tolerably, from the Dawlish side and once, intolerably, from the Teignmouth side.
The hills were almost (but only almost) worth it for the two fast and terrifying descents, which made me realise just how much skiing and cycling have in common — the obvious differences being that (a) skiing doesn't require you to climb the hills under your power; and (b) that if you crash while cycling, you die.
