Stoke Canon, Exeter Sunday 14 March 2004

In spite of the terrible weather conditions we had a wonderful friendly ride from Stoke Canon through Killerton, onto Budlake and Talaton and from there I was lost. I just followed the leader Pete Luxton who gave us a wonderful cycle ride through some of the quiet roads of Devon. We stopped for lunch at a converted farmhouse and we were all soaking wet by this time, but it did not seem to down anyone's spirits. I did wonder if cyclists are "sain" because why would anyone want to cycle on a cold wet Sunday morning - it is always the same, we enjoy the exercise and meeting up with friends. A day I really enjoyed and I would like to express my thanks to Pete Luxton for organizing this ride and providing us with tea, coffee and stewed blackcurrant and apple with custard after the ride!
