Michael was suffering from a bad cough so needed to lead today's ride in his car. Philip thought this was a great chance to take part in a longer ride, so he hopped in too.

Our route from the Totnes pick-up took us through Harbertonford, Moreleigh and Stokenham. We somehow missed the turning for Lannacombe Beach and had to double back, but in the end we reached it and spent an enjoyable hour and a quarter playing there and eating lunch. Eliot, Neil and Tao all managed to get wet.

We rode back to Torcross for drinks and chips from the take-away. During the subsequent beach fun Philip got his shirt filled with pebbles.

We returned home via Strete, buying some milk at a store and leaving Tao to finish off the surplus. Corkscrew Hill at Tuckenhay provided the usual steep track fun, and after riding through Totnes we got home just after 6pm - an energetic ride for some!
