Donald returned to club rides today, bringing with him a new friend Ashley and his father Tom. We rode through Scoriton and Michelcombe to Holne Play Park, where yesterday's Holne Fair had turned the entrance to the park into a mud bath. We played with the Frisbees until Ashley F finally arrived, then headed off to Hembury Woods where the fort and slalom provided plenty of the kind of entertainment that the youngsters like most.

Our newcomers performed exceptionally well and seemed to thoroughly enjoy the ride.
