This evening's forecast proved incorrect when the afternoon drizzle failed to turn to sunshine in time for our evening ride. Instead it turned to real rain for the duration of the...
The Grand Western Canal, Tiverton

Several of our members inexplicably missed out on this memorable exploration of the Grand Western Canal, but their absence just made the task of packing bikes into the car much eas...
Hembury Woods

A shorter ride seemed appropriate on this rather dismal evening, so we rode through Buckfast to Hembury and then climbed the main hill at a super-fast pace. Near the top Michael r...
