Extreme weather conditions on Dartmoor: EBR Social Cycling

This is an EBR social ride with James, Mike and Lawrence joining me on a very wet and cold ride on Dartmoor. We set of from Bovey Tracey and headed up towards Haytor, but the weather took a turn for the worst. We had to rethink the planned route and shortened it by half. We were all soak to the bone and freezing cold by the end of the ride. My observations are the subject of this ride. So come along and enjoy another great cycling adventure.

come down here and see what it’s like really uh to see if it’s really worth um continuing because although the weather’s pretty good here to be honest it’s just spitting up on dartmore it’s a different story um but I’ll see I’ll see how Brave the rest of them are see if I want to go for it yeah it’s quite it’s quite um I’m just looking up at the weather up there fell all mate yeah so we
