With drizzle and outbreaks of rain forecast we decided on a route through Buckfast that would allow speedy return if the weather turned nasty. The rough track through Burchetts Wood provided the first fun of the evening, Gage providing entertainment at the end by riding through the ford and discovering that it was deeper than he expected. Scoriton and Michelcombe brought us swiftly to Holne where the play park provided plenty of opportunity for rest and relaxation. Harry, who was performing well on his first Friday ride, had brought swimming goggles to combat the drizzle that was now beginning to fall, but poor sideways visibility meant he couldn't keep them on for long.

To conclude an enjoyable evening we took the track from Gallant Le Bower to River Dart Country Park and returned via the road from Ashburton. Ben seemed to enjoy his first ride so we hope he will find time to join us again.
