Seven riders set out from the Drummer heading for Portloe via Probus, Trewithen, Grampound, Creed, Tippetts Shop and Portloe.

Unfortunately the Ship Inn was closed for renovations so amid groans from the peloton we climbed the hill out of Portloe and headed for the New Inn at Veryan for a good lunch stop. Back to Truro via King Harry Ferry for 4 and Tregony for 3

Distance – 35 miles

Riders – Paul Delderfield, Ian Clark, Jonathan Angilley, Jude Lawrence, Dan Bunce, Niq Carter-Rowe

Ride Leader – John Flowers

Pete Hargreaves led an easier ride with Christine Rogers, Phil Borlase and Barry Butt to the Fox Hounds at Scorrier.
