Last one for some?

I've heard there's a soccer ball world series (or something) starting this week, so it may have been the last ride for  a while for some.

And what a ride it was again tonight!

Another great turn out, with a couple of new faces to add to the mix of skills in our evening rides. This made for a good paced and on occasion super technical ride (thanks Gary for the new runs!). With super steep adverse camber downs, it wasn't everyones cup of tea, but luckily there were the options to push where you need to without feeling it wasn't the right thing to do. To those that survived we salute you!

Velvet didn't make the full ride unfortunately, but we hope for a speedy recovery for him! Nothing too serious but I'm sure he's on CRC now adding to his pad collection right now.

With a big group statistically the chance of the number of mechanical failures increases, but luckily there were only two tonight (Two broken chains) fixed without too much disruption.

So all in all a great night out in Stowe and on the way back we caught sundown along the coast path.

Hopefully tonights outing will put off the soccer ball fanatics missing any rides and we'll be treated to weeks of this!

Happy Trails!


And for El Capitan we'll have a word with the council about getting that bottom step marked up a bit clearer!
