And that brings us rather quickly to the last Sunday in the month … which began with a shower! Fortunately, this was the only rain of the day, and the six who completed the ride had a superb run. They rode down through Moreleigh and Woodleigh, having lunch along the tidal road at Aveton Gifford. The tide was soon lapping across their exit, however, so a hasty escape was made to the destination – Bigbury-on-Sea.

A short stop was made in the village before the long journey homewards via Modbury and Kittaford. Richard was finding things a bit hard towards the end as temperatures plummeted and darkness fell. He made it home, though, with a little help from Jean in the form of a Mars bar! Here’s hoping that the weather improves sufficiently next month to get Torbay off to a fresh start, before the new year begins. See you at Cockwood for the Christmas Lunch? Of course we will!
