No two rides have ever been the same, similar, but never the same. Also the permutations of riders appears almost infinite and I can guarantee the combination tonight was brand new. That may not have been the case until going down to Huckworthy we met Glen coming up for his first Tuesday ride this year. I had an inkling he might be out as he was one of three riders who earlier at the Walkhampton sports day Dad's race wisely decided to save energy for later!

The weather yet again was perfect, I can't remember a better spell of Tuesdays. And the ride gave us ample opportunity to enjoy the views to the south and west. Not too much to report on the ride, went to Stephen's Grave and back. We did have a split the far side of Roos Tor, four heading towards it and four going around Cox Tor.

Unfortunately the Walkhampton Inn was shut so we had to go the extra miles back to HQ. Now, if no two rides or rider make up have ever been the same, the conversation has rarely been similar! It never ceases to amaze me how much you can learn over a beer on a Tuesday night, who says only woman gossip!!! It did get very confusing but naturally being gentlemen, what was spoken on the ride or in the pub never goes any further!! One thing is for sure though, it is a small world and somebody knows everybody and there are very few secrets!!
