Our famous track-intensive ride may not have been quite what Leo and Susan had been expecting on their first ride with us. Avoiding the flying golf balls we picked our way up the side of Ugborough Beacon and enjoyed lunch on the top in a stiff breeze. We then followed the usual route along the Redlake Tramway, a few going all the way to Redlake and discovering some delightful muddy ditches - which kept them entertained for quite some time.

The path from here back to Cross Furzes is somewhat rough to say the least, and the newcomers decided that enough was enough and headed for tarmac at the Avon Dam. A number of members were kept entertained throughout the afternoon with Gary's radio, which was tuned to the men's singles final at Wimbledon.
