We were pleased to welcome Keir back to our evening rides - a little fitter than last year, but not much bigger! Totnes cycle path remained a possibility as we rode along Colston Road, but when we got to Huxham's Cross Keir seemed to feel that Staverton would be preferable. There was the usual stone-skimming from the island, then we did our annual excursion along the second section of the track, taking care to walk the final stage to avoid upsetting the locals. One of the owners still managed to come out as we rode past his house, just to make sure that we hadn't actually cycled the path!

As we were planning our return route Michael noticed that Keir no longer had a helmet - he had left it back on the island! We proceeded on a loop that brought us back to the island across the steam railway line, collected the missing helmet and rode homewards via Abham. Our exploration of Staverton's riverside tracks had indeed been thorough this evening!
