Ride Reports
Brutus Bridge
Fri, 20 Sep 1991
The red Vistalights, promoted by Ken, were tested this evening and certainly looked quite bright from behind. From the Dartington Hall estate we took the overgrown track to Totnes...
Mothecombe Beach
Sun, 22 Sep 1991
We repeated our earlier route today by having lunch at Mothecombe and then wading across the river to enable return via Aveton Gifford. Charlie wasn't all that enthusiastic about ...
Cross Furzes
Fri, 27 Sep 1991
As rain was forecast we kept close to home, riding out to Buckfast. Since the rain had not materialised we decided to tackle the steep climb to Cross Furzes, calling in at the Rus...
Weekend ride
28 Sep–29 Sep 1991
Steps Bridge Youth Hostel 2
The forecasts for the weekend looked abysmal right up to the start of the ride: storm force winds, torrential rain, all continuing throughout the weekend. In fact the worst weather we experienced was some light rain as we neared the hostel on Saturday evening.
We were not deterred from venturing...

Section AGM
Fri, 04 Oct 1991

Burgh Island
Sun, 06 Oct 1991

Bozomzeal
Sun, 13 Oct 1991
We bumped into the Torbay Section this morning at the Totnes pick-up, and attracted two additional riders by virtue of our proposed track-based route. Ken, who had recently purcha...
Games Evening
Fri, 18 Oct 1991
Our first social of the new season proved as popular as ever - so much so that Michael had to return home at 1945 to get more milk!
Dartington Trail
Sun, 20 Oct 1991
This was a poor turnout for the first morning ride of the winter. The pace was quite fast until Alan's rear derailleur packed up and Charlie and Ken had to completely dismantle it...
Chalk Ford
Sun, 20 Oct 1991
Nobody walked the hill to Cross Furzes so Dayle didn't have very long at the top to explain the dubious virtues of the rectangular frame tubes on his new mountain bike. From Lud G...
Nutcrackers
Sun, 27 Oct 1991
Dave Robinson was on the ride so we couldn't ride through Lustleigh without calling in at the Primrose cafe. The Nutcracker stone is located amidst dense undergrowth in the heart ...
