This was our National Bike Week Invitation Ride, and by the time Buckfastleigh and Paignton contingents had met at Broadhempston we had three new members.

Ken provided plenty of entertainment on the ride to Ipplepen by bringing both Ben and James on a specially-converted tandem that included a Rann trailer. We called in to Fermoys garden centre café for cakes but had to hurry up as it was closing today at 4.30, courtesy of the new Sunday Trading laws.

The two contingents went their separate ways home, with the Buckfastleigh starters riding through Staverton and Caddaford.
