Yes, this is enjoyable leisure riding time. I am just having trouble finding a local ride without road working and traffic light delays. Most roads out of Exmouth are now dug up and have been for many Months. Now they have also begun gas main work and closing down another main road.
The nice route to the local common also got the surface scrabbled up for a new surface so full of grooves and ramps. Very hard to spot every pothole but i managed to drop into 3. I must get better at hitting these holes
