Autumn Codiwomple 031124

 

So here we are already at the final run of the year!, not to worry as 11 riders turned up at ‘The Quay cafe’ in Braunton to get ready for Andy’s famous coast run to the Hunters Inn. On my arrival, Andy was sitting at an outside table puffing the rain clouds away, ( successfully), and after we had all assembled, ( on a very varied collection of bikes ) ,he briefed us before he led us out across the marshes with John and Andy marshalling at the rear.






Now this is not a run which can be undertaken in the tourist season as we would not have had such easy passage through Croyde, Georgeham, Wollacombe, Combe Martin before arriving safely at the Hunters Inn. There were of course interesting views of beaches and valleys on the way.

After a good meal, Andy lead us back to Blackmoor Gate where members travelling south, left the run to head to South Molton and on to home.


Thanks to Andy for the weather and the route, and to John and Ian for bringing up the rear, I have to say that car drivers were quite kind to us today I thought. Now we have a planning meeting in 2 weeks, if anyone would like to lead a run in 2025 please tell John or any committee member before the meeting.
