Sub zero, snow on the tops, but no Pugsley to be seen 😉
Butty rides his crosser (the right choice in frozen ruts!)
A second 5×5 showing of the year (no ringers this time)
A night to bless the heat of hill climbing and curse the glass like sections of frozen track.
So dry that the Trails were actually dusty!!
Hot toddies & rusty nails to celebrate El Puds birthday
Dentists Descent most interesting following fat tyred frozen ruts (& no bridge!)
Slim finally meets up with the crew in the forest
Shaun’s first homebrew surprises Eric by being rather good J
Emma’s moist warm cakes go exceedingly well with it too!
Down to the Church House to warm up with cooked breakfasts, bombardier & wingather.
Ski tales, banter and star wars uncut..
Slim slow puncture on the hubster not funny – although many helpers kept up the spirits 😉
