For some reason our younger members were tired after the recent cycle tour so wanted a shorter ride than Haytor. They decided on a ride to Ashburton, past the new skate park and on to the Ashmoor recreation centre where we played badminton for an hour. We then bought lunch from the Spar and ate it on a bench on the old railway line. A cute Chihuahua begged some pasty from us before its owner finally managed to call it away.

We returned via the A38, a new experience for both lads. Lawrence could suddenly see possibilities for cycling out from Newton Abbot at high speed and vowed to try it for the social this Friday. We rounded off an enjoyable ride with a games social at Crofters.
