This evening’s ride was the first in a trial series of special evening rides designed especially for children of primary and lower secondary age. The rides, running from 6.30 to 8.30, had only been advertised through the Buckfastleigh Cycle Training Scheme and by word of mouth from older members, so Michael was somewhat surprised to see a turnout greater than one!

We kept the ride fairly gentle by riding along Colston Road to Staverton’s riverside path and then returning via Abham and Caddaford. The youngsters seemed quite happy with the ride: watch this space to see how they develop!
