Morning ride: Totnes Food Fair
Sunny
16 miles (▲ 300m ▼ 300m)
4 Participants: Dillan Edwards, Michael Jones, John Rogers, Will Rogers
We rode along Colston Road to Totnes to see the Food Fair in the market area. Totnes was busier than usual today, with the main street closed off. An annoying woman told Michael he was not allowed to cycle because the road was closed, so he told her he didn't think that applied to cyclists and carried on.

There were more stalls than usual in the Food Fair, although flapjacks had still not returned. Michael bought a hot vegetable bake, Dillan had the £6 chicken fry thing and we shared a chocolate brownie that was very nice despite being more liquid than solid. We enjoyed our visit.

We returned home via Dartington and noticed that the new primary school was being demolished! We checked on the internet and discovered that the roof had started to leak in 2014 and the architects and builders will be sued by Devon County Council. Evidently the roof could not be repaired so they are flattening the school and starting again, which is all quite disgraceful. We continued to Staverton Bridge and got home by around 2.30.
