New rider Jack turned out to be much faster than we'd expected, so our choice of easy route along Colston Road to Staverton may not have been strictly necessary. A steam train made itself known to us while we were running between the islands, presumably a bank holiday special. A little Frisbee throwing in Staverton Park was followed by the direct route home via Abham, punctuated only by a couple of minor slip-ups on the Shuttaford descent. Rain came in as we approached Buckfastleigh, putting a light dampener on what had been another excellent ride.
