There was a good attendance for our final evening ride of the season, but as Jordan hadn't been out for a couple of months we decided to keep the ride fairly local with an excursion through Hembury Woods to River Dart Adventures. Darkness fell before we were half-way along the track, so Michael's powerful front light proved essential for safe navigation of the many fallen tree trunks and the required detour across two streams caused by a path blockage. It was all very entertaining, and a new experience for many of our younger riders.

Harry's ever-quickening puncture required an increasing frequency of pump stops on the route home through Pridhamsleigh and Green Lane, so it was close to 9.30 when we finally arrived home.
