David, Trevor, John O`Rourke, Graham J. and myself
The Sunday ride again became the Saturday, due to the weather, it was still very cold but mainly dry. Plympton was the start and I had only a rough idea how to get up to Lee Moor from the start, then Trevor jumped into the breach and led us on an interesting route of back lanes up to the cross roads near the Moorland Hotel, Wotter.
From here I was back to the front taking the road over Cadover bridge and then taking a right along a high scenic road and down to Sheepstor, it was here John, not feeling to well decided to make his way back to Yelverton and his car. We rode around Burrator reservoir before going up a steep climb and across the Princetown road to Sampford Spiney, there David left us to make his way back home for warmth and footy!
Due to the virus, there was no Pubs or cafes open so the advice was to bring a flask and nibbles but as we headed towards Drakes Trail, Trevor suggested going to Morrisons in Tavistock which I thought was a good idea with beans on toast in my mind!
After a pleasant stop it was the last leg of the journey back to Plympton going along the Drakes Trail, with Trevor parting company with Graham J. and myself at Clearbrook, and we made our way back to Plympton with 41 miles covered, and for Trevor having rode in from Ivybridge, 51 miles, on a cold but a good day's ride.
