Michael had to miss this well-attended ride as a result of a family reunion. Well actually he put in an appearance at the Totnes pickup and then left Charlie, Seb and Budgie in charge of the pack.

The ride was somewhat hilly, following the Dart through Tuckenhay to Dartmouth. Lunch was enjoyed on the quayside, then the Totnes brigade returned through the lanes with Harry while the remainder took the ferry to Kinsgwear and separated near Paignton. Budgie’s Buckfastleigh contingent stopped at their favourite cafe, the Rising Sun tea-rooms at Woodland, on the way home.
