This year’s Fifty in Four Tourist Trial was a very blustery event because of the gale force winds. Five people attempted the course and three others went around part of the way with us. The wind pushed us up part of the long hill before we dropped into Exeter. Some of us stopped at the top to get a bite to eat. The wind made it easy until we got to Starcross, but it was rather hard going after that, the hills not making things any easier.

With about three quarters of an hour to go we could see the bridge crossing the River Teign. A few bumps to climb, but then it was a clear flat road to the finish. We arrived with twelve minutes to spare, and the rest promptly finished after us.
