Having climbed Ausewell hill there was an almost unanimous decision to change the destination to the Round House cafe at Buckland in the Moor. Well, these rides are for fun, and we’re not totally inflexible!

After some adequate refreshments we descended through delightfully autumnal woodlands to Spitchwick where we met one of our October 1993 new riders, Mark Barber, with his Mum.

Tao fell off during the descent of the Hembury Woods track, but he wouldn’t admit it to anyone!
