Notes:
An early start for a Jumbo ride, Pete delays us for the second week in a row!
Young Ian shows off new race bike (a mere 4in travel susser)
Fast pace set by RAI training Stunt gets us to the target area by 7:15!
Most excellent trails courtesy of PTD routemeister (but no wallabies)
Planned Rendevous with Nic never quite happens despite several attempts
Shaun has an eye watering “gonad meets seat” incident attempting to ride a very up & down boggy bit
A grinding climb out of Gradbach and scenic meander along Wildboarclough valley before a final leg busting ascent to standing stone
Amazingly we are on time for food at the Church House, where Nic finally catches up with us.
Extra Lancaster Red & Pale Rider & extra chips needed to restore energy levels!
