This week it had been Will's turn to get the dreaded flu, but he still made a tremendous effort and turnout out for this morning's ride on a day that threatened rain. We actually made it half way along Colston road before we really noticed any drizzle, but it was a little heavier at the top of Dartington hill and several of the younger riders had no gloves. A change of destination from Totnes to Dartington solved the problem and we were soon in Cranks vegetarian restaurant enjoying their excellent range of drinks and cakes. James and Ashley were unable to contain their hostile feelings about a meat-free menu, however.

We spent a few minutes observing the usual high prices of china in the Cider Press Centre shop, then headed back up the hill towards Rattery as the rain gradually fizzled out. The final leg of the journey past Pennywell Farm was pleasant, although the cold air ensured that Will descended very slowly to avoid frostbite!
