Axe Valley Pedallers enjoyed their traditional annual ride with their good friends from Exeter Cycle Touring Club, as they cycled as many lanes as they could find bedecked with Bluebells. The ride, known as Bondie’s Beautiful Bluebell Ride was led by Simon Bondie Hayward of Axe Valley Pedallers. The relaxed route made its way from Seaton Tram Station, along the Axe Estuary, through the back lanes to Musbury and then up to the Great Trill Plantation.
The Bluebells were rather passed their best this year, as they had flowered a tad early in all the glorious spring sunshine. However as the group made its way down to Yawl, an enforced stop to fix a puncture was well placed to take in the last remaining flowers. Lyme Regis was as usual for this ride, the group’s destination and a long and lingering break for tea and cake was enjoyed before returning to Seaton.
Alistair Cope, Chairman of Axe Valley Pedallers said “ Our club is a community cycling club and we would like to encourage cyclists of all abilities and ages to join us on our National Bike Week rides and picnic in the park on Sunday 12th June, starting at 10:00 am by the Seaton Tram Station”. Alistair continued “it’s always a great fun day and brilliant for the children (and me) who always enjoy our cycle parade as we ring our bells on the way to Cliff Field Gardens” |
