     At  Plymco the start of my ride there were the usual four being , i.e. myself, Trevor, Graham and Dave. 
This week's ride would take us to Peter Tavy returning via Tavistock and the Drake's Trail leading to Yelverton
The coffee stop would be at Long Ash, Yelverton where we enjoyed  coffee sat outside in the pleasant morning sun.
Moving on and replenished once more, we headed to Horrabridge and the back road to Tavistock. At Grenofen we took a right  turn which brought us out to Plasterdown and the usual entertainment of model planes weaving through the air, was a pleasure to watch as we swept by.
At the junction of  Moorshop we crossed the road heading for Peter Tavy through narrow lanes. On arriving at our destination we parked our bikes and sat outside in the beer garden enjoying liquid refreshments in  the mid-day sun.
Suitably refreshed it was onwards and upwards  following route 27 to Tavistock on the disused railway track.
At Tavistock we joined Drake's Trail leading to Yelverton where we joined the cycle track to Clearbrook and bade our farewell to Trevor who was heading to Cadover Bridge for a well earned ice cream.
The rest of us rejoined the trail through Plym-woods and Coypool terminating at the Ridgeway for Graham and Dave. A pleasant day with 44 miles showing on the computer and good company.
