Michael's absence meant that the bunch left on time this evening, much to the surprise of a few riders who had to put their skates on to catch up with the group as they headed towards Harbourneford. A pleasant ride through Marley Head and Rattery was uneventful except for a tyre that refused to stay on its rim. With the evening pulling in, lights were required for the last part of the journey, especially by Mark Moxham who had to cycle back to Paignton from Mill Cross.
