Our new season of 11am morning rides was given a special send off this morning by David Robinson, attending his first ride in several years. Will also deserves mention for getting up before 6am so that he could cycle back from his friend's house to be on the ride.

We chose a leisurely ride (for David's benefit) along Colston Road to the Cider Press Centre at Dartington. The queue for Cranks restaurant was rather large so we visited Muffins outdoor cafe for some delicious drinks and refreshments in the morning sunshine. The cycle path to Totnes was delightful this morning, affording David new insights into the activities of the Buckfastleigh to Totnes steam railway. Our return route was through Littlehempston and Staverton.
