[Michael at start before 10.00 (unusually). John Stuart came and went. Budgie got puncture as soon as we left the RAC box at Caton so half an hour late at the Bovey Tracey pick-up. Met Kevin Presland at the top of Hind Street (where he lives). Climbed hospital hill. Budgie went home with faulty derailleur. Lots of snow by road at top. Tao got Michael with a snowball but Michael and Philip got Tao back very well. Thick mist at Blackingstone. Had lunch in shelter of wind. Icicles on Rock. Very cold so left quickly after climbing steps to top of Rock. Descent to Wrey valley - lots of ice on final twisty narrow part of the descent. Sped down valley to Lustleigh, found Primrose café closed until 3rd February! So along railway track to Brookside Tearooms at Bovey Tracey. Fast return to Buckfastleigh, arriving 4.20. Excellent ride.]
