Taunton Tandem group spent a long weekend at Wadebridge in mid-September. Some of us stayed at Pendavey House and Lodge, while the rest of the group stayed at Little Bodieve Campsite. On Saturday we kicked things off with a social evening for all at Pendavey House, with a bring and share supper. We then enjoyed three days of cycling in wonderful early autumn weather. 
Sunday’s ride took us to Port Isaac, with lunch at Trevathan farm shop. Our return route took us to Rock, where some of the group took the ferry to Padstow and returned along the Camel Trail, while the rest of the group came back via Chapel Amble. 
On Monday we climbed out of Wadebridge to St Breock Down to enjoy some spectacular views, before heading down to the coast at Harlyn Bay for our lunch stop, then on to Padstow and back along the Camel trail. In the evening, we all enjoyed a meal at the Borough Arms in Bodmin. Thanks to the group for paying for our meal as a thank you for organising the weekend - that was very much appreciated by us both.
Tuesday saw us heading up the Camel Trail, through Bodmin and on to Bodmin Moor. We had three stops, first a café stop at Blisland, followed by a picnic in the churchyard at Churchtown, and a final café stop at St Teath. The weather was fantastic, and we all enjoyed the wonderful vistas as we crossed Bodmin Moor. 
Thank you all for joining us on what was, at times, some quite challenging routes. I think special mention must go to Grace, who at 91 years of age joined us for every ride, riding approximately 100 miles over the three days – what a gal!
