Jordan was sporting a new bike at the start of today's ride - a touring bike! Actually it was Michael's spare bike, but Jordan was thrilled with its performance and fully intended to blast past the mountain bikes on every stretch of road.

When Michael had persuaded Olly to overcome his tiredness we pressed on through Scoriton and Michelcombe and spent at least 20 minutes in the play park, doing our best to organise a Frisbee contest. We finally got it going, and declared Olly and Sam the joint winners, but there were at least three occasions when long sticks had to be obtained to retrieve Frisbees from the high branches of bramble-covered trees!

There's a new cafe at Holne, and today for the first time we checked it out. It's not quite as classy as the Old Forge used to be, but the prices seemed very reasonable and Michael said the ice creams were excellent!

We thoroughly enjoyed the rough track descent through Holne woods to River Dart Adventures - the leading riders enjoyed it a little too much and forgot to stop at the junction, thereby missing the final fun section of the track. We concluded an enjoyable ride with a shortcut through River Dart Adventures and the old road to Buckfastleigh.
