Sunday 17 August 2003
10:15 - 13:15
Morning ride: Dr Blackall's Drive
Warm and sunny
15 miles
3 Participants: Michael Jones, Oliver Lindley, Gavin Pearson
Today the weather was, for a change, comfortably warm. From New Bridge we took the steep climb to Poundsgate and on to the summit, where the absence of the usual ice cream van was a disappointment. The track that is often called Dr Blackall's Drive provided spectacular views of the steeply wooded Dart Valley and plenty of fun on the descent. Today we stayed off-road all the way to New Bridge, fortunately (from Michael's perspective anyway) missing the steep and dangerous bit that some of our more experienced mountain bikers have reported in the past. Ice creams and Hembury Woods concluded another excellent ride.
