Ray would have been pleased with the turn out for this Ray Rowcliffe run he had been so very involved with the Devon section almost since its inception so it was good to remember him.
The weather was good all day and it was Ian B’s job to organise and lead it and what a good job he did. We all met at Jonsey’s cafe at Winkleigh and set off at 1100 towards Okehampton passing through Monkokehampton and Exbourne on the way.
Lunch was taken at the cafe on Kitt hill where they serve very good pasties, ( course we were in Cornwall ), and good views to boot. A few members set off here for home, Ian, ( t’other one ), set off with just 2 strands of his clutch cable hanging on, luckily he made it to his garage where it finally parted, phew!. The afternoon run was going very well until we 5 at the rear of the column were held up by slow traffic and when we did get going, we came to a junction with no marker!!!. From here, Mike and I rode to Tavistock and Okehampton where Mike went north and I to Crediton, Exeter and home.
Great ride, good comradeship and magic scenery what’s not to like!, thanks to Ian B for the excellent route and to our 2 hardy back marshals, John and Cliff.
Next meet is at the Grampus in Lee on the 25th.
