Sunday 7 March 2004
11:00 - 15:00
Morning ride: Broadhempston
Mainly dry
16 miles
5 Participants: Tao Burgess, Michael Jones, James Manning, Ashley Myhill, Gavin Pearson
We toyed with the idea of visiting Fermoys at Ipplepen, quickly becoming one of our favourite restaurants, but in the end decided that James might not make the distance and chose instead to take a devious route to Broadhempston. The ride started with the climb of Green Lane, then doubled back towards Baddaford and the cross-field track from Halsworthy to Parkfield. The lane to Forder Green then took us to Broadhempston, where there was time for some Frisbee-throwing in the park. It wasn't long before James managed to throw the ring over the high fence into the adjoining field, but Ashley saved the day by scaling the fence.

Rather than take the straight route home we detoured via Staverton, making the most of the good weather. It should be noted that Will would have been on the ride today if he hadn't broken his collarbone whilst performing a gymnastic stunt (with his family). He was allowed to play games at Crofters during the ride as compensation.
