Notes:
A lastminute.com doog production – delivered expertly yet again!
Big Event brings out Croxy & Bernard.
Aother rider joins the orange five crew as Stunt shows off new metal..and immediately Dan “tunes” its front forks.
Great views from top of the moon, and excellent grassy descent into wildboarclough.
El Pud takes us on a new cut across – rather bumpy & hard work though.
Llama oggling and red deer spotting before the long technical climb.
Proper fire circle, clear sky, mysterious lager shortage, tactical cokes, the biggest ketchup bottle ever and plenty of in depth tennis discussion.
Butty’s single malt evaporates rapidly and don’t ask G to toast your marshmallows 😉
No gravel rash on the ride home reported this year (but then we were missing slim)
