Sunday 29 June 1986
Day ride (With Torbay CTC): Easdon Tor
Mixed
12 Participants: David Bitner, Richard Burge, Richard Hopper, Steve Hughes, Michael Jones, Ian Malem (15, Torquay), Martin Olney, Mark Pearce (Junior, Devon), Vicky Sanders, Andrew Simmons, Simon Whale, Damian Williams (15, Torquay)
Early thunderstorms and torrential rain resulted in a delayed 1pm start for those members sensible enough to ring the Cycle Control Centre at Redmount. The few brave souls who started at the planned time of 10am were, however, rewarded when the sun appeared an hour later.

The South Dartmoor late starters met Torbay at Bickington only to find poor Martin Olney looking the worse for wear after a bad fall on gravel. He clearly needed stitches in his chin so Kevin escorted him to Ashburton hospital while Michael rang his parents. I can’t remember when we’ve had such a nasty accident on a club run: with Mark’s grazes last week it seems as though we’re going through a bad patch at the moment.

There was only time for a brief ride, up to Haytor and along the pretty road to Manaton which we seldom use for some reason. But there’s always enough time to visit the Primrose café at Lustleigh, and today was no exception.
