We had a fair amount of sunshine for a ride up the Teign Valley on our way to Oldridge. We had a very pleasant picnic lunch near Kingsford before climbing up towards Holcombe Burnell. After a short stretch of easy going there was a much harder climb to the top of Whitestone Wood before running along the ridge to Oldridge and down the track to Culvercourt.

The sky had clouded very heavily by now and, when the rain started we were pretty certain it was in for the rest of the day. There was a unanimous vote to head for home, arriving rather late and very wet.
