Another great day out on the trails today. Weather was dry (in the main) and even sunny at times and the temp wasn't too cold either ..... but still lots of water about which made for a mucky outing indeed.The chosen route was our Tavistock run which runs up the west side of the moor, reaching Sourton Down...

Our friends from Essex were visiting again so a weekend full of riding was planned. Day one was our Whiddon Down, Fish-and-Chip route, taking us up the east side of the moor to Widdecombe, Manaton, North Bovey and North Tawton.

Not quite as long of a route as yesterday - although still nearly 100 miles -...

I booked on to this as my mate Glenn is from Worthing in West Sussex and he comes down to Devon all the time. Obviously we have the best lanes, and the highest lane density, so who can blame him.
