Nine-year-old Glen proved just how capable and enthusiastic he is by transferring to Fridays for his second ride with us and performing as well as everyone else! The fun started with a ride through Burchett’s Wood, which turned out to be just as muddy in places as it always has been despite the recent dry weather. We temporarily mislaid Kane at Michelcombe when he stopped without warning to chat with a friend, then rode up to Holne Play Park to introduce Glen to the delights of Frisbee throwing.

It was only when we were approaching Hembury Woods that Michael noticed that Glen wasn't wearing his helmet. He thought he had left it at a junction near Gallant Le Bower, but Michael detected a certain amount of uncertainty, so as we were running fairly late he decided to go back later for it in the car. Meanwhile we concluded the ride with a dark descent through some of Hembury's interesting tracks.

When Michael and Joe went back later to find the helmet, it wasn't at the junction at all! They eventually found it back at Holne Play Park!!
