Three new riders on the October afternoon run made numbers up to 15½, the fraction being contributed by Dave Eyres’ little boy, Richard, who rode as passenger. Richard Reade and Matthew Tewson of Paignton were two of our youngest riders for some time, and Mark Jones came along at Mark Morton’s invitation.

We took the lanes through Staverton and continued to Dartington Hall where we spent an enjoyable time walking (and rolling) around the gardens. Visitors must have been amused to see us all on hands and knees hunting for beech nuts – one word from Martin and we’ll do anything!

We rode out early to Buckfastleigh to see the raft race, but it had already finished when we got there.
