Jeremy had a broken chain at the start so he went home to replace it with the intention of catching us up. Evidently it took him longer than he planned as we didn't see him again.

We made the very best of the excellent weather by setting out on an ambitious ride to Haytor, riding out through Ashburton, Halshanger and Birchanger. The journey was well worth the effort with the views alone, the distant lights near the coast being just visible through the warm haze.

We returned home the short way via Cold East Cross and Ashburton, concluding what had been a very enjoyable and well attended ride.
