Michael made up for everyone else's lack of enthusiasm this morning by enjoying a brisk solo ride through Ashburton and River Dart Country Park. Climbing Holne Chase he was surprised to see the post van coming from the Holne direction: sure enough, a check of the post-box in the village confirmed that Holne is indeed fortunate enough to have a Sunday collection, putting it on the same status as Buckfastleigh! Return was via Michelcombe and Scoriton.
