Joe helped Gage replace his rear brake blocks while we waited for Oliver, but when he still hadn't turned up by 10.45 we decided to set off along Colston Road with an excellent turnout of younger members. Keir's performance had improved somewhat as we rolled into Staverton, but the forecast for heavy showers by noon prompted us to visit Broadhempston rather than Ipplepen as originally suggested. The improvements to the play park were now completed so we were able to make good use of the new hard surface for our Frisbee contest. Tim was a little heavy handed with the faster Aerobie, landing it high in the branches of a tree, but some excellent shooting with a discarded plastic bottle saved the day.

The showers began in earnest as we left the park. Some proposed a detour along Beaston track, but sanity ruled the day and we headed back on tarmac via Green Lane. Ben concluded the ride by falling off at 3mph and being more concerned about the health of his bike than himself. When everyone had showered and eaten lunch, many took advantage of the afternoon social at Crofters.
