No cycling holidays this year

I did do my longest ever ride to date though,  just over 200.Km in 2 days.
I am hoping to start buying my camping gear in the new year and I will also start  to plan a route for my cycling holiday for next year maybe North to South Devon

So after Christmas I will start getting in longer rides to build  up my stamina.
I will be using The Dawes KaraKum
