This highly successful ride, which followed the usual route through Totnes, Moreleigh, Slapton, Strete and Tuckenhay, was complicated only by the Met Office’s prediction of rain by 5pm. The only time wasted along the way was twenty minutes when Luke, in an attempt to inflate David’s punctured tyre, broke the Presta valve clean in two, and thirty minutes in the Torcross café, where a number of miserly individuals saved 10p by eating their chips outside in the cold.
