Ride Reports
Games evening
Only George and Dillan came for this evening's social. They played Supreme Commander on the PCs first, then we all played Star Wars Monopoly from 9pm.
Holne
John and George joined us for our ride to Holne. Hayley had been planning to join us, as this was supposed to be a Family Ride, but Gavin told us at 10.40 that she wasn't coming a...
Cinema Trip: Star Wars Rogue One
Everyone arrived for the cinema trip at 6.45, and we left at 6.50 for a 7.30 start at Vue, Plymouth. We were watching Star Wars Rogue 1 in Screen 8. We all enjoyed it, and as Star...
Christmas Lunch

South Dartmoor Christmas Reunion
Julian had to leave just as many others were arriving, but we had a very enjoyable afternoon chatting and checking out some of the tour videos that Michael has recently edited. We...
Pool
This evening we drove to Plymouth for three games of Pool at Tenpin.
Pool
A low-key club social saw us drive to Plymouth for a friendly round-robin at Tenpin, six games so everyone played everyone. Shared desserts at Pizza Hut rounded it off, and we got home later than planned.
Holne
Jude’s first club ride was meant to be gentle, but Dillan and George led him up the steep climb to Holne, which he conquered. After the café, we tried Tao’s Gallant Le Bower track—muddy at first but now blissfully gate‑free—and a harmless spill in the Park rounded off the day.
Pizza Hut
A relaxed social evening moved from pizzas at Pizza Hut in Plymouth to competitive air hockey at Tenpin. Dillan beat Michael, Michael beat George, and Dillan expected to beat George too—only for the result to surprise him.
Ashprington
A nostalgic spin through familiar lanes to Ashprington was defined by the now-tarmacked path to Totnes, fast, smooth and full of Dart views. Along the way came a veteran’s tale of a starting pistol for a dog and, at Morrisons, jam-laden doughnuts that tested John’s resolve.
Games Evening
The younger members spent the evening playing Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance, while John and Michael planned the club’s 2017 Easter Tour to North Cornwall.
