Sunday 17 November 1985
Day ride: Hittisleigh for Devon DA AGM
Sunny and warm
7 Participants: John Iles, Brett Jamieson, Michael Jones, Philip Mills, Kevin Presland, Luke Rake, Jane Simmons
The day was ideal for cycling – clear blue skies and a warming sun. However the Dart Valley group decided against taking advantage of the favourable conditions, travelling instead by car – not any old car mind you, but Michael’s newly-acquired Volvo 345DL, generously purchase for use by the club on days when inclement weather makes cycling a less than inviting prospect.

The wondrous vehicle whisked us luxuriously to the northern wastelands via the Primrose café at Lustleigh. Here John was unfortunately unable to sample the much-vaunted cakes as he had consumed an excessively large breakfast not long previously.

The meeting will doubtless be reported elsewhere, so suffice it to mention that the major item affecting us was the approval of our application to become an official Section, henceforth to be known as the South Dartmoor Section. Following a splendid tea (many thanks to all concerned) we headed home in sumptuous luxury, arriving with plenty of time to spare before the penultimate episode of Howard’s Way. (Did you see it Kevin?)
