We rode up to Dean seat, then down to the lower road and up past Nurston. Gavin stopped to talk to a friend outside Nurston and forgot all about the club – Michael had to ring him from the top to see where he was!

It was a bit late now but we rode over to Bloody Pool and Michaael managed to get everyone to agree to a detour down the Lutton lane to South Brent. We took the left turn shortcut before Lydia Bridge and returned straight home via Harbourneford for around 9.20 as planned. It had been a very good ride.
