On this ride, I cycled from Exeter to Whiddon Down via Crediton.
This was a 42 mile loop which at the time was my longest ride on my new Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL5. This bike is perfect for climbing and there was plenty of hills to climb along the way.
I also encountered a couple of bad drivers and one very near miss, when a woman motorist exited a side road and pulled across my path when I was travelling around 33 mph, that was very scary.
My observations are the subject of this ride. So come along and enjoy another great cycling adventure.

Nice Harv. Can excuse the Raptor near miss, due to blind corner, though she needed to be a bit quicker. Think we should refer back to the Yorkie advert back in the good old days. It’s not for girls😉 The van🫣 What a PLONKER🤦♂️
hey. great ride.. I used to live in Whiddon Down and have family in Bow and Crediton. [ busy roads though!]. Thanks for the video
Very nice roads… what are those marks on your top tube?
Looked like a few motorists were out to get you on that ride 😉
you think that was close when he pulled out on you i add 1 yesterday that waited till i was passing the junction and pulled out as i was passing . i dont no how some drivers get a licence i just dont
Great ride Harvey and thanks for the shout out mate .funny I’m doing the same work as them lads at the moment just nights lol . Looks like you at enjoying your new whip ? Be interesting to see you do a route.creo then tarmac time trial 🤔stay safe mate the muppets are out there as you seen 2🤦🏻♂️👍🚴💨💨💨
Again I say please take care….
Looks like a fly 12 sport you got on the front. Have one aswell. Licence plates are crystal clear even on very rough roads during the day but hopeless at night. Same goes for the Fly 6 Pro.
No respect, no common sense and the need to be somewhere fast, regardless of anyone else. Driver like the one in the pick up should be banned from the road. It's happened too many times for me and now I only ride an E-MTB and E-Gravel bikes.
Took you less than a fraction of your own video to break a stop-sign law; cyclists are angry at other road-users and guess why other road users hate cyclists in turn?
I cycle as well, but i adhere to laws yet i get treated like shit because of people like you who think laws are for everyone else and not you. You cycle and comment like you want to start shit wherever you go, toxic to say the least.
Good ride on your fast machine😊, a lovely day for it. Don't you find the hills hard after riding the Creo? I think I would be huffing and puffing 😅
