Some unpleasant showers just before the start of the ride quickly gave way to a perfect sunny evening for our ride to Landscove. Jake still didn't have his new mountain bike, but was eagerly anticipating its arrival within days. After traversing Colston Road to Staverton we detoured home via the narrow track near Landscove, the sun setting with a golden glow over the distant hills. Ben's knees were causing him some pain on the final climbs - we hope he recovers for next week's ride.
