The Scrumpy run this year was once again limited by the weather, 32 riders braved all and set off on this prestigious run of the year. Graham had to return on the back of a truck when his primary chain parted and, after an excellent meal at the Blue Ball inn, nearly half the riders decided to go home early

for a warm up and dry out. Ray didn't make it to the start when he suffered a puncture just short of South Molton, despite assistance form Pete and Cyril, it couldn't be repaired so they made for home on pick up. The Mayor apologised for the weather and promised better next year, she selected Lee Plain's bike for her choice, John Moray on his Scott collected oldest bike and rider, Barry Lowe's Harley was the riders choice, and Rodney Hann chose John Boyd's Rudge as guest. An excellent buffet snack was laid on by the council which the few remaining riders tried their best to do justice too. A big thank you to the committee for the route, setting up and marshalling all day, a lot of work goes into making this run happen lets hope next year sends us better weather

A dozen riders turned out on this mid week Ray's ramble which started out in good weather for a change at the Exeter Inn near Cove. After a nice cuppa, Ray led us through some lovely Devon lanes and minor roads for 42 miles before arriving at the cabin in time for our usual Wednesday meet. We operated the usual marshalling roles and all went well, thanks Ray for the route and for all riders who turned out.
