Julian impressed everyone tonight with his new front forks. We took the old Ashburton road to Pridhamsleigh and then took the right turn up the hill to Five Lanes. After passing Baddaford we took the track descent across the fields to Landscove, then continued to Staverton.

For a change we tried the riverside track in reverse, starting from the village and proceeding through the field and woods to the island. The owner of the house near the start gets so angry when cyclists ride the track that he risks bursting a blood vessel, so we decided today to look after his health and walked the path until we were in the woods.

As usual we couldn't resist playing on Staverton Island, skimming stones and generally running around. When we had taken our fill of fun we headed home via Colston Road.
