On 29 June we once again attempted to find some little-used roads by going down to Berry Pomeroy and Littlehempston, then riding north through Broadhempston and Denbury to Wolborough. Most of the Old Hands agreed we didn’t go anywhere new, but some of us newcomers rode on as many as nine lengths of road we had never been on before – not bad, considering we were never more than five miles from Marldon.

It turned out to be a slow run since over half the group obliged when Matthew wanted to compare bottom gears at Littlehempston and then continued in first gear for the remainder of the ride. Dominic even rode an extra four miles from Kingskerswell to Shiphay and back just to prove that the Babbacombe team had cheated on the way home. But he couldn’t prove he did those miles in first gear!
