July turned out to be a good month for Torbay Section, with exams completed and the summer sun high in the sky. Seven new riders joined the ranks, and attendances averages ten on evening rides and over eighteen on day rides. The evening ride on 14 July had the best turn-out with twelve members gathering at Five Lanes, Marldon, including ten-year-old Matthew Burrows from Babbacombe. He did very well for his first ride, but I think he was grateful that we took the run in the Torbay direction. It has been nice to see Jeremy Cox and Stephen Davey out with us so often – Jeremy didn’t miss a ride for several weeks after he joined us at the end of June, and that’s keen!
