CTC Torbay Autumn 2009 Newsletter
After a pretty wet July and August the weather took a turn for the better
and you did'nt need a coat when you were out for the day in September and
up to a week ago the rain was still holding off. But it's been back with us
now over the last few days.
Hope it holds off on Sunday, the wind as well, as several of us are taking
on the Devil. There's no fun in riding that Moreton-Princetown road when a
south west gale is blowing.
