Mark Hunt needed all ten gears on his new bike for this fast ride through Staverton and Broadhempston. At Ipplepen it was decided to continue to Compton Pool before turning back through Stoneycombe and Denbury.

This was certainly the longest evening ride to date, and it also turned out to be one of the most eventful when Paul got a puncture near the Rising Sun. Fortunately some members had battery lights or it would not have been possible to get home by 9.35.
