We rode up Dean hill, then took the Moorshead Cross lane over to Skerraton Down as most of the group preferred that to the Avon Dam today. This involved taking the bridleway up to the moor and then following a path across the open moor to Skerraton Down. Jerry didn’t much like the off-road but still enjoyed the ride.

After having fun on the descent to Cross Furzes Callum O’Brien tried riding the ford and got his feet wet, which didn’t leave him feeling too happy. Jerry needed a little encouragement to keep to the left down Wallaford Road, but we all managed to negotiate the hill safely and got back to Crofters for 12.40.

There was a social after the ride until 2.30 in which we all played a massive team game of Lord of the Rings.
