Our first afternoon ride for many years took us to one of our favourite destinations, the Avon Dam. The path to the reservoir was packed with people soaking up the fantastic weather - we even met ex-member Gage, out for a walk with his family!

Tao and Matt cleared out Michael's chocolate box while enjoying the view across the reservoir. Nobody wanted to leave, but Matt needed to get home by 5.30 so we dragged ourselves away from the soft grass and headed back across the moor to Cross Furzes. By way of a change we returned to Buckfastleigh via the long track through Kings Wood - an exciting ride, marred only by Michael getting a pinch puncture on the way down.
