This was the Marldon Track Event, with members exploring every lane and track they could find on a circular route through Totnes. It was certainly good practice for the Rough Stuff event.

After some pothole-ridden lanes to Blagdon there was the delightful Glazegate Lane track from Barton Pines to Longcombe. Then there was the track through Fleet Mill to Totnes, and finally a steep and gritty finale to Berry Pomeroy. The ending of the ride was marred somewhat when Philip, who was at the front and should have known better, failed to wait at a turn-off. The adult leaders were thus separated from the youngsters, and the two groups had to make their own ways home.
