Morning ride: Landscove
Heavy showers with some sunny spells
3 Participants: Dillan Edwards, Michael Jones, Alastair Shapland
Our ride to Landscove started with sunny spells but quickly turned to a long, heavy shower by the time we reached Baddaford. We found some substantial trees for shelter but it wasn't long before the rain was coming through, so there was nothing for it but to head up the hill and then down across the fields towards the café, getting quite wet along the way.

As we walked into the café, dripping wet, some other customers thought it would be amusing to ask if it was raining outside. They then tried to make out they had been out in it as well, but of course that meant the walk from their car to the café!

As soon as we had sat down for refreshments the sun came out, but it didn't stop us enjoying an extended cake and drinks stop. We eventually headed back via Green Lane where Ash met us for the final journey home just as another shower started up. Everyone got free cake at Crofters, however, to celebrate Michael's birthday, which helped make this an enjoyable day overall.
