Ugborough Beacon
Sun, 21 Jul 1991
There was a slight delay at Avonwick caused by Tom Widger, who had left his helmet at Totnes plains. Eventually however we set off for our usual route over Wrangaton golf course, ...
South Hams Audax
Sun, 21 Jul 1991
Four riders from Buckfastleigh entered the 100km Audax. We enjoyed the varied route, which included the Plym Valley cyclepath, and the company of riders from around the country.
Weekend ride
26 Jul–28 Jul 1991
Street / Cheddar YH 3
This turned out to be one of the best weekends we have ever organised. A few were put off by the high cost of travelling to and from Taunton on the railways, but those who went were not disappointed.
From Taunton station we rode through Creech St Michael, Ham, Knapp, North Curry and Meare Green,...

Was Eliot responsible for the poor turnout? He apparently told a number of people that there was no ride because of the hostel weekend!
Abham
Fri, 02 Aug 1991

Neil fell off near Burchetts Wood when his chain slipped off the front chainring. He was a bit sore so he decided to head for home while the rest of us continued to Venford. Seve...
Lannacombe Beach
Sun, 11 Aug 1991
Lannacombe is a long way from Totnes so we took the fastest possible route, via Stokenham, and arrived in time for lunch. The beach didn't smell quite as clean as we had expected,...
Staverton
Fri, 16 Aug 1991
Once again several members had no lights, including some who should know better, so the ride had to be shortened to return by 8.40pm. We still managed Colston road and the Stavert...

Lake District 8
Travelling long distances with bikes seems to be getting more difficult and more expensive with the passing of time. British Rail still offers the best deal for a small group, but there is now a £3 charge per bike per train, and a conservative limit to the number of bikes that can be conveyed on ea...
