To be fair this is one of those quick I got to places type of journeys blogposts. With the past week ending up actually being to carry on video editing, To the point its been 3am nights and the shits in some cases but it eventually got there.
The Morning:
I got up around 9:30 AM to then get some emails sorted like a SDA for god of war and aftermath of attempting to sort a friend out the night before which hopefully does not lead to repeated mistakes. But we start by cycling my way to my first visit at a local garage around the 10am mark which then was about 20 minutes to sort out voxi which all it was waiting for was a pending payment. After that was a wet cycle on to feel the wind on my face and the sun was trying to peek out but in the end I got to my customers around 10 minutes late, but in a lucky way, it was worth it since of the fact I had to be in mount batten by around 4pm. There was
The Time to sort out the Visit
I got back in the shop minus being soaked multiple times and a friend if mine turns out was being manipulated by another friend like setting rules she cannot message outside our group and it's not even a long distance relationship, just casual friend that to be fair the chap gets a bit delusional with it. The jeans were getting soaked and muddy and to be fair it was told the weather was to be coming in. But once there was to sort out the Railcard out which locally is looking like it's worth me getting now the train I've used like 5 times in the past month, which meant to rush the print of the forms and then get passport and a bill out, but which address to use was the hmm factor since of future plans means no point in changing all addresses in case it gets frustrating.
But then it was a wet cycle , well that mix of dry with the sun coming out and as nearing the coast was the choices of the weather.
As I started Google maps up, it was a cycle to get things sorted and passing the roads and the houses before getting to the cycle path and that was heaving of dog walkers and such of families passing by alike. Well it comes down to eventually getting to horrabridge around the 30 minutes mark and then it was passing what I thought would be a struggle but not as much as other hills when getting toward yelverton. As I cycled up that hill and then the short path to the village , I had a phone call from a customer about an window for email missing so even though had to go elsewhere, it was a case of pressing 2 keys to sort it is the theory of Windows key and the up arrow.
Then it was to cycle on the main road to then pass the village of clearbrook, again this road and path were mostly spot on with bits and a few people in the path and stopped a few times for dogs to stop running in most too. But it was then passing a manner to then pass ponies as I was on the way to that village

Once I was pacing with gravity down that road, I turned off by the pub right and it was then a few moments before entering the cycle path and sure I know I was looking muddy but it was feeling like a breeze. Ok sure there was a gate just down the hill so a small stop but then it was on the path all the way to Plympton.

| The Cycle path nearing the Tunnel |
As it was passing bickleigh after the Tunnel which had more light than I expected due to budget cuts and it was getting to see how much trees have been cut and blown down from the winds when getting towards Plymbridge woods since that in itself was getting that autumn feel of trees passing before twig only for that winter period. Even though as I was getting towards the mini station, the rain was here to soak me though again, sure trees were some sort of protection but it was getting wet still that was an annoying factor.
It was also getting to pass the part of Saltram which had alot of people about and also it was nice to see the views of the River again, seeing opposite memories of when i used to visit there, with Charley for a halloween party and all other things. But it was a bit of mini hills going on the muddy path it just felt a nice journey even with the mix of things that would not work out.

Now as I was passing, it was clearing up but also was time to find out my next step of where to go from here and how to get to mount batten. Now using Google did help and I finally made use of that cycle path which reached above the range which I've been surprised on how useful that safe path is which it is to the city , so I carried on and eventually passed the Morrisons roundabout which lead me to the doom of going to cross that main road to then take the roundabout left and it is semi scary but made it

By that point it ends up almost a feeling of getting lost from how confusing it was going to become, i should have taken a right on the roundabout itself to take a cycle path straight near there but instead had to take it upon myself to take the estate road route and you know it gets even better when taking a right when it was to cross the road. But in turn , I eventually got to some nasty steep hills on the end by Turnchapel and also crossing a bridge in the Park before Hooe which in itself was even more time delayed due a to a phone call that happens which later in this week was going to go more urgent, made it two phone calls I've headed with so far on that day to be fair.
Eventually it was getting there after one more mis-turn and then I parked it by the pole on the avenue entrance and walked my way to getting there to visit this chap. The visit went on but managed to Just sort the door by 6:01 which then a rush to get the bike out and pelt my way to the station for 6:35 since the train left at 6:37 and my god I was feeling it in the chest as I started to get up that main hill, but with caning pressure, traffic jams and chavs being supportive, I eventually cycled to the station around about 6:34 and got the £6.60 single ticket home on the train.

| The Bike belted up on the Train |
So it was a good time to type part of this up on the way but it felt a lot quicker than 40 minutes on the train which probably was due to the darkness kicking in. But that and mum texting me asking when I would get home. But I said around 7:20 which is about when the train arrived in. And well soon after the other chap got off at calstock with his bike, I was on the way to unload with mine.

| Getting the Bike off and ready to cycle up the hill home. |
It was time for that 5 minute cycle up the steep hill, I finally got home then it was time to have a nice meal at the end, Like this was one of those moments that was a big accomplishment and realisation I NEED to sort getting a replacement battery for the Elife Patriot. But that will be for another day.

So that ends another Monday and another day of work with something different, Since things were getting expensive to sort out and mistakes being made will cost me later on.
