Michael's Mercian was still halfway through its service so he accompanied the youngsters with a support car this evening on our ride up Green Lane and past Baddaford. He had to take the alternative road route as the cyclists descended the track across the fields to Landscove, but we all met up in the school playing field where the Frisbee flew well and everyone learned that the one thing Ryan hates more than anything else is getting bits of grass in his "afro" hair - apparently it takes ages to get it all out!

Zac had a new bike this evening - an enormous Gary Fisher hybrid - bought for our forthcoming tour, and he certainly seemed to make good speed on it. We returned via Abham.
