Michael had proposed Holne or Widecombe as a destination today, but George wanted Trago Mills and Dillan wanted to ride further than that, so we decided to ride to Costa Kingsteignton for coffee first and then go to Trago for lunch on the way home.

There was a lot of surface water on the A383 to Newton Abbot, and Dillan, who was just behind Michael, got sprayed by his back wheel and got in a bit of a state about it. Michael suggested he rode in front of him, then several cars on the other side went through a lake in the road and sent a wave of water all over poor Dillan. The rest of us got it too, but not as bad as Dillan. His shoes were filled with water and he was not at all happy!

We arrived at Costa at around 12.05, and had to wait a while for our food as there was a long queue. Michael's camera was on a go slow for some reason, so he only got one photo. We enjoyed the usual nice Costa coffees and cakes, although we should probably have bought the special Christmas shimmer cake, a very moist-looking chocolate cake.

Now George had changed his mind and wanted Subway for lunch instead of Trago, so we rode to Subway in Market Walk, Newton Abbot, and bought lunch for £3.20 each. There were a few Newton Abbot teenagers playing in Market Walk while we ate it, and I don't think our youngsters were too impressed with their behaviour.

From here we took the Google Maps recommended route home, which meant riding through East Ogwell and Denbury, an excellent and very enjoyable route. Michael managed to take another photo with his phone camera near Ogwell. We got home at around 3.10 after a very good ride.
