Long way round...

The post hurricane weather did not put anyone off from this weeks midweek night ride.

18 set off from Southfork for what turned out to be quite a long night in the saddle.

As with all rides with big numbers the chances of mechanicals and flats increase, and this weeks ride saw us with our fair share. A total of six flats in all (three from one individual!) slowed down the overall pace, but when we were going, we were going, with a fast pace, some good hills and a good deal of technical downs to keep everyone warm!

Thank you to all those that donated gear to those that weren't prepared to ensure that no one was left behind in the dark and wet!

See you all next week!... and don't forget to bring at least one tube!

Magnificent Seven

So it seems as if the the rain is a coming, and a warm bed was the better option for most this morning. 

But 6 dampened souls met up for this mornings ride, to face whatever could be thrown at them (including a snigger from our Club Secretary  as he drove by, nice and dry in his van!). It was wet, but still fast in through Suicide up to Tiscott, the 6 then became 7 as 1 other rider caught up after tracking us from the shop.

It wasn't a long ride, but it was still further than everyone else did from 07:30 on a wet Saturday morning.

Call that mud! Can't see what everyone was afraid of?

Good to see Tim our (pseudo) campanologist out again!
