This morning's ride took us along the old Ashburton road, then through Ashburton and Rew to the woodland track that follows the river Ashburn back towards Ashburton. The main path provided plenty of fun for everyone, but when we took up Joe's suggestion of crossing the lane and continuing along the field, Nick was not quite so amused: thick mud hampered our progress over the style half-way along and clogged everyone's brakes by the time we reached the road!

To finish the ride on a dryer note we rode through River Dart Adventures and on through Holne Woods, following the woodland path up towards Gallant Le Bower. From there the Slalom track through Hembury proved irresistible. Nick and Donald were both impressed with the track, although Nick's stated aim of staying close behind his son proved difficult to make a reality!
