The May Ride was a lovely sunny, blustery day - quite cool specially to start with.  Malcolm G showed Malcolm B how to set up live tracking on WhatsApp so he could find us en route having first dropped Grace off at the Barleymow.  A brilliant facility we had not been aware of.  So 14 of us started from Chardstock and Malcolm joined us in no time at all!

We followed NCR 33 to Ilminster for 10 miles, stopping for coffee at the Kitchen on Silver Street, which is a very pleasant cafe.  Then came 11 miles with three very serious hills (but the views are splendid) to reach the Barleymow Farm Shop and a very well deserved lunch. 

The final four miles were largely downhill back to Chardstock, a cream tea and cake. 

Riders were Malcolm, Kate, Peter, Jenny, Hannah, Rex, Vicky, Jeff, Paul, Nina, Malcolm G, Anita, Andy, Ed, and a guest and 16 for lunch including Grace
Malcolm and Kate Balston
