We were pleased to have Tao and Gavin join the ride today after a long break. We had good weather all morning apart from a single shower. We followed Colston Road to Huxham’s Cross and then took the new cycle path down through the fields to the Cider Press Centre at Dartington. Cranks proved irresistible today – Ash took advantage of the opportunity and had strawberry cream cake and orange juice.

Ash had knee pains but Tao and Gavin felt like having a longer ride, so they went on while Ash and Michael returned home along the main road.
