We welcomed John Stuart, Simon Hopper and Andrew Simmons back to the fold, home for the Easter Holiday. We certainly made an impressive sight at the Bovey Tracey pick-up. Those who went into the Primrose café at Lustleigh were rewarded with a special menu offering 50% discount on many items - see the noticeboard in this newsletter for details.

There was some competition amongst the older teenagers to see who could ride the fastest along the narrow lanes, despite Michael's attempts to encourage self-discipline. Today's casualty was Roger Johnson, who came off on a gravelly bend and damaged his elbow: his parents collected him and took him to the local hospital for treatment, and he then had to return to Totnes hospital regularly for a few weeks before the wound was fully healed. Next time the damage could be even more serious, so please try to put safety first!

The ride continued up to Manaton, and thence to Whooping Rock itself along a short track. After enjoying lunch in the sun we left the tranquil setting and returned home via Jay's Grave.
