Day ride: Glazebrook

12 Participants: Colin Brierly, Jean Brierly, Iris Buckler, Colin Downer (12, Buckfastleigh), Paul Harman, Michael Jones, Robert Leeke, Frances Lofty, Mark Morton, Kevin Presland, Mike Ward, Andrew Winstanley
Yet another foggy day on the 24th for our trip to Glazebrook. Twelve were out, including yet another new member, Colin Downer of Totnes who had come with Robert Leeke. Iris cheered us all up at Avonwick by breaking the news about Plymouth Section, and then we set off through the lanes to South Brent and Aish. Kevin, obviously engaged in a private battle with Mark, collected another puncture just before we reached our destination, but as there was no suitable place for lunch he had to push up the hill past Owley to the woods.

As we arrived, a group of horse riders were coming down off the moor, and with a sudden scream one of the girls was thrown off. She wasn’t hurt badly, however, and we were soon able to settle down for lunch. We then continued along the lanes to Bittaford and made our way home through the pretty North Huish, Diptford and Tigley areas.

There was a social after the ride at Michael's house in Buckfastleigh, where we watched the movie Storm Boy and listened to Jean Michel Jarre.
