Section Lunch - 7 Dec. 2014

Many thanks to Mike Willacy who led the ride today - a first for him as a leader. The route was a classic past Serpell & Sons and then right at the grass triangle through to Otter Nurseries where we stopped for coffee and a good old yarn. Afterwards Anna and Clare made their own way to Staddon Heights Golf Club up Fordbrook Hill. Mike took us essentially along the same route up Fordbrook Lane but included two twists and turns including the interesting Devon village of Spriddlestone - not to be missed - and an adventurous dog-leg not far from the golf club.

Service and lunch at the Golf Club were excellent. At £14 a head for two courses it was well worth it. Some people even had three!

It was a pleasure to see George Sandford again, who hasn't ridden with the club for many months. Zena and Trevor Petley unfortunately were unable to make it. Roger Floyd was otherwise engaged and Larry Clarke had come down with a virus while Andy Prideaux, a man with a purpose, was exerting himself with the St. Budeaux Club today. 

Present were: Mike and Julie, Clare Hamon, Sue Etheridge, Anna Bryant, Caroline Sage, Dave Newman and Nyccy, John and Jean Harris, George Sandford, Iris Buckler and Patrick, Graham Black, Graham Reed, Andy Easton and myself. 

It was, as always, a social and convivial occasion. With 17 miles on the clock when I returned to Plympton I felt I had done justice to the day.
