Day ride: Easter Special
Dry
7 Participants: Neil Ault, Tao Burgess, Matthew Jago, Michael Jones, Martin Luke, Philip Roberts, Eliot Thomas-Wright
Bradley Wood, near Newton Abbot, always provides plenty of cycling fun. Today it turned out to be the mystery destination for our Easter Special - although anyone who can read maps could have discovered the destination for themselves from the grid reference.

Those who have ridden the track before may know that the owner of the house at the Chercombe Bridge end is particularly grumpy. He seems to live in constant angry regret that a footpath crosses his car parking area and leaves his premises via a stile to one side of his large, personal gate. The first sign of a cyclist trying to carry a bike through the stile usually makes his blood boil, and if they dare to try to make life easier by opening his large gate he rushes out in a tearing rage and makes them struggle through the stile, voicing various unpleasantries to help them move a little quicker. We approached the area very quietly today - only to discover that he was not at home!
