The last weekend run of 2001 saw a very cold icy start, but also a clear sharp morning..

Bridge over A38.
Stopped in the Teign valley

Skies cleared, and roads thawed out, although parts of the valley were still in shade. A bit worrying with cars pelting past at 50mph+.

Passing the Teign House Inn.



Jackie climbs towards Longdown, snow metling at the road edge.
After the climb to Longdown, we descended into Exeter for coffee. A notable ride from young Matthew Yates, who at 12 years old, rode the 23 miles to Exeter, and returned home , complete with panniers!
