With Michael leading the summer tour and Richard H cycling across Wales it was left to Andrew to lead the small band of riders from Buckfastleigh. After a personal call upon Richard B the group met Nick and Philip on their way to Chudleigh Bridge. Riding up the Teign valley the Section then took a different route to Doddiscombsleigh from Lower Ashton. On the way someone noticed what sounded like a noisy swarm of bees. Stopping, everyone poked their heads over the hedge to see a motor-scramble course complete with motorcyclists and a steep incline.

After watching one loud race the riders cruised into Doddiscombsleigh where Philip found he had a puncture. While he fixed it the others had their lunch and soon they were relaxing in the Primrose cafe in Lustleigh with a cup of tea. Returning via the old railway and the Bovey by-pass (part of it), Andrew and Simon managed to get back in time for the end of the great Buckfastleigh bed race.
