The weather looked rather threatening and not really ideal for a moorland ride, so we decided to do something a little shorter. We rode to Buckfast and then everyone except Paul took the track through Burchetts Wood, which was actually not too muddy today. Keir and Tao filled their water bottles from the Holy Brook at the end, and then Keir, being Keir, couldn’t resist a water fight and succeeded in getting Michael and two bikes very wet.

Keir, Paul and Tao went home the long way via Coombe and Cross Furzes while the rest returned via Oaklands Park.
