The did not get very far run just a quick report half days run out it was hot plus I had a flat on the rear at the dinner stop so we cut it short as I could not be assed to fix it so we limped home blowing up the tire every 3-4 miles made it back to Treens bike shop Crediton fixed the tire new tube an rim lock needed. if I had been over 20 miles from home I would have had a go at fixing it but. it was hard work with all the tools in the shop would have been a right bastard at the side of the road plus just went to pop out to the shop and the bitch is flat again nono must have pinched the new tube putting it on.

You can't go wrong with Vimeo, they use very little compression after you upload

Also have a huge library of free to use music and edit tools

Youtube wrecked my video's I uploaded

Also if you click the embed link on this site you will see vimeo along with a few others

Nice videos Martyn. Shame about the puncture.

In the second video there was a lane I didn't recognise. Did you ride the lane near Welsbere?

Cotton Farm lane is lovely wink

Welsbere if it's number is 191-011 then yes we was there you have to cheat a little for part of it as the 200 yard river ride is a real no go which is a shame as it's a lovey lane.
