We were pleased to welcome Gavin back to the club for his first cycle ride since 2011. Julian had joined us for a chat before the ride, so we left rather later than planned at 12.00. We rode through Michelcombe to Holne with Dillan on his new Specialized bike and received a warm Christmas welcome from Simon the chef at the café.

On the return journey through Hembury Dillan completed his testing of the bike and was very happy to confirm that the full length mudguards kept him spotless even when splashing through the many puddles.
