The outward route through Caddaford, Abham and Sparkwell introduced members to some new and interesting routes, but it was the return route that proved most eventful. Firstly, a lad on a horse raced past the group along Beaston track and left a couple of cyclists in the hedge: he then rode along with us, causing havoc all the way. Secondly, a passing tractor managed to remove young Colin's pedal near Well Farm! He managed to push up the hill to Chuley transmitter, however, and got home at a respectable time.
