Sunday 6 May 2018
10:15 - 13:30
Morning ride: Holne
Hot and sunny
3 Participants: Dillan Edwards, Michael Jones, Jude Norris
Jude came down for the cycle ride on a very warm day. Dillan was keen to go to Dartmeet but Jude wanted something a bit shorter, so we left at 10.49, rode up to Holne via Oaklands Road and then decided to press on towards Venford Reservoir. When we got to the junction near Bear Wood however, we were all very hot so stopped under the shade of a tree for a chat. After a while we decided to go back to the Holne café, where we arrived at 12.04 and had lunch outside in the garden.

We left the café at 1.01 and rode home via Hembury Woods for 1.41. We then played Minecraft on the PCs until Jude left at 2.45.

After computer games at Crofters we played badminton for an hour at Ashmoor Leisure Centre from 8.30.
Sunday 20 May 2018
10:15 - 14:40
Morning ride: Endsleigh Garden Centre
Sunny and warm
23 miles (▲ 490m ▼ 490m)
3 Participants: Dillan Edwards, Michael Jones, Jude Norris
Jude arrived and we set off for a cycle ride to Endsleigh Garden Centre, taking the detour around Harbourneford and the back lane from South Brent via Wrangaton and Moorhaven.

We arrived at Endsleigh at 12.18 and went to the Garden Centre restaurant, where Dillan and I had a good lunch that cost over £9 each, but Jude preferred to wait for the Co-op as the prices were quite high at Endsleigh. We left again at 1.12 for the return journey, calling into the Co-op at Ivybridge at 1.20 so Jude could buy his Meal Deal and Dillan and I could get some grapes.

We set off again at 1.32 and followed a similar route home, except this time we took the B3213 to Wrangaton rather than the Moorhaven road. We got home by 2.38 and Jude was collected around 3.00.

Once again we ran a badminton session at Ashmoor Leisure Centre from 8.30. Full attendance list was not recorded, so there may have been more participants.
Sunday 27 May 2018
10:15 - 16:00
Social: Landscove Garden Centre
Cloudy and damp start, sunny later
3 Participants: Dillan Edwards, Michael Jones, Jude Norris
Jude arrived late for the planned ride, but Dillan did not want to cycle today in view of the weather, so we played Minecraft until 12.20 and then drove to Hill House Nursery at Landscove for 1.17 to have afternoon tea of cheese scones in the cafe.

We played more Minecraft back home until Jude was collected at 4pm
Friday 1 June 2018
20:00 - 21:45
Social: Badminton
4 Participants: Will Bastow, Dillan Edwards, Michael Jones, Jude Norris
Jude arrived late at 8.00. We played a bit of Minecraft together for twenty minutes. Will Bastow had asked to do badminton this evening, so the four of us went to Ashmoor for 8.32 and played some really good games for an hour. Will says he will come cycling with us a week on Sunday.
Sunday 3 June 2018
10:45 - 13:35
Morning ride: Dartington
Cloudy but dry
12 miles (▲ 225m ▼ 225m)
3 Participants: Dillan Edwards, Michael Jones, Jude Norris
We set off for Dartington via Colston Road on a dry and cloudy morning. When we arrived at the Cider Press Centre at 12.03 we had coffees and cakes in the Venus Café, took some photos outside and set off again for the return journey at 12.44. We rode back through Staverton and got home for 1.35. We all played Minecraft until Jude was collected at around 3pm.
Friday 8 June 2018
19:00 - 21:30
Social: Badminton
4 Participants: Will Bastow, Dillan Edwards, Michael Jones, Jude Norris
Jude arrived shortly after 7. We started the evening by playing Minecraft, then looked at worked maths paper 2 to see what Jude's grade was - he estimated 48, which wasn't at all bad.

We then drove to Ashmoor Leisure Centre at Ashburton for a badminton session with Will Bastow, which was very enjoyable. Dilan and Michael played a friendly knock-up, then Michael beat Jude and Will beat Michael. We all felt quite hot and tired this evening.
Sunday 10 June 2018
10:15 - 14:20
Morning ride: Bovey Tracey
Cloudy and hot with some sunny spells
23 miles (▲ 360m ▼ 360m)
3 Participants: Dillan Edwards, Michael Jones, Jude Norris
Will Bastow decided not to come because of revision pressures. Jude’s Mum wanted us to go to Ilsington for coffee as she did not want to have to collect him, then Dillan wanted to go to Bovey as the cafes are better, so we rode to Bovey Tracey the fast way via Blackpool School and had coffee and cake in the Guild of Craftsmen café at 11.44. Dillan wanted soup so Michael had a bowl as well.

When we left there at 12.33, we noticed there was a craft fair running in Mill Marsh Park. Dillan wanted to look at it but Jude didn’t want to ride through the park for some reason and wouldn’t wait for us, so he rode back to Ilsington while we rode through the park and then home. We took the same short route back through Blackpool, getting increasingly hot as we did so, and got home at 2.17.
Friday 15 June 2018
18:00 - 21:00
Social: Pizza Hut
3 Participants: Dillan Edwards, Michael Jones, Jude Norris
As Jude and Dillan had just sat their last GCSE exams today, we ran a social event instead of an evening ride, having a Pizza Hut meal at Plymouth.
