Cob was in fine form this morning. We rode to Ashburton, took the old railway track into town and then rode past the school, up Balland Park and up the hill behind Ashburton to Owlacombe Cross. Callum O’B was dragging his feet a bit up the hill, but the youngsters sorted him out by making him angry – he then powered up the hill staying in first place all the way.

The youngsters wanted to be home for 1pm, so we took the Whiddon Farm track as originally planned. This was fun, although CoB was annoyed that he had his jeans on as they got rather muddy on the descent.

To conclude a good ride we took the woodland track from Waterleat and returned home via Ashburton Park where we stopped for a few moments to ride on the ramps.

We got back at 1pm. Zac rushed off to go and watch the movie War Horse with his Mum, which as many will know was filmed on Dartmoor. The rest stayed for a trampoline and Halo social until mid-afternoon.
