Would the ride take place or wouldn't it? Indecision gripped us as the drizzle fell, but eventually we went, keeping close to home as ever. The Combe Fishacre road brought is quickly to Ipplepen. From here we rode past Denbury to Two Mile Oak. Young David wanted to explore a side track: it turned out to be a dead end, but everyone enjoyed the ride - except Matthew, who moaned "like a girl's blouse" according to Dave Senior! The ride finished by exploring a new link from Stoneycombe to North Wilborough and the nurseries near Shiphay. A proposed track turned out to be barred to unauthorised vehicles, but we were ultimately grateful for the quicker ring road as the rain began in earnest.
