Winter hibernation seems to have started early this year in Torbay, or at least other activities have taken a heavy toll on riding strength.

Not a bad day as it turned out for the October afternoon run, but with very ominous cloud I was not surprised that we were but four. A big effort to find something different took us through Kingsteignton to the back of Ugbrook and then via Gappah to Chudleigh.

A short windy stretch of the A38 from Chudleigh Knighton to Drum Bridges before reverting to the old road to Bickington and then taking to the lanes through Denbury for home.
