Sunday 24 May 1987
Weekend ride: Salcombe Youth Hostel
Day 2
Sunny
14 Participants: Chris Blight, Richard Burge, Paul Deslandes, Richard Hopper, Philip Humphreys, Gary Johnson, Michael Jones, Gareth Lee, Warren Masters, Mark Morris, Mark Moxham, Luke Rake, Andrew Simmons, John Stuart
Next morning we were to rendezvous with the day-riders at Torcross cafe, so we were obliged to take the ferry to East Portlemouth (in the usual three consignments) where we enjoyed morning coffee outside in the chill wind. The maize of lanes near South Pool inspired a massive bike swap, but eventually we arrived at Torcross at the same time as Richard and Mark (the day-riders).

There were, of course, the usual silly games on Slapton Sands after lunch, Chris being the one who suffered most from the huge waves that pounded the beach. The return journey was along the usual route through Strete, the only significant event being Warren's collision with a car at the top of the Slapton track. Fortunately he was unhurt, but it provided an opportunity for Michael to remind everyone of the importance of good road-safety.
