The forecast was for rain but as we set out from the start the sky was just cloudy. We nearly got to Dartington before the rain set in, but when the youngsters were given a choice about heading back or going on to complete the loop, everyone wanted to go on!

There were short breaks in the rain, but it was tipping down for the return journey through the lanes from Staverton and some of the youngsters may have been wondering why they voted to go on! Everyone did well, including new rider Osian, and the afternoon social at Crofters helped to make up for what had turned out to be a very wet morning of cycling.
