There was a surprisingly good turnout this morning considering the rather wet and windy night that had just passed. We set off bravely with the forecast not ruling out further showers, but as the ride progressed it became clear that the showers were over. We rode up Dean Hill, then cut across to Marley Head and down to Avonwick via the cobbled lane - fortunately nobody managed to fall down any of the gullies, although Louis did have some difficulty making his pannier stay on his bike.

The ride along the Avon River would have been straightforward if Joe had kept his eyes open and not turned left with Louis after everyone else had ridden past. Twenty minutes later they finally re-joined the group, with Joe looking distinctly sheepish about his mistake. Everyone was doing well today though, including new rider Chris, so we had no difficulty returning via Rattery by the usual 1.30 deadline. As usual, an afternoon of computer games was enjoyed by nearly all those present.
