We haven't had six on a ride for quite some time, so there was a real buzz in the air as we set off up Silver Street and through to Scoriton. It was a cold morning but everyone had good gloves today. When Ryan had called home to collect something we continued through Michelcombe and up the gentle climb to Holne where we amused ourselves for a quarter of an hour in the play park: refreshments, rope swing and Frisbee were the principal pursuits.

As we were in Holne some members just had to call into the local shop to spend some more of their money, then we continued through the lanes and took the excellent track that descends through Holne woods to River Dart Country Park. Everyone was up to top speed today so we had a great ride and got home quickly via the old Ashburton road.
