A Tythy friendly start and finish
LIGHT RIDING 🙂
Ambitious route suggested, and mostly out of the wind until Pym chair.
…only the other week Slim was saying he hadn’t broken a seat post in ages, still true but saddle failure delays blaze hill climb, leaving others to cool down at the top.
G uncharacteristically attempts to change route to a slackers ( and fails)
Spectacular sunset across the plain.
Bank Lane good – apart from some impressive sheet ice, which a few folks get in the wrong side of and have to crawl across 🙂
Lights on (and 3sheds off..poorly knee) at Jenkins Chapel, and dark by Pym Chair.
Single track to Wingather ace
Hot Randy toddies from Stunt to celebrate the light nights, Brandy from TJ to mark his last ride with us for a while.
Out of time for the climb past the moorside and sponds, so a rapid road return to the vale.
Bolly best, Moravka, and great food 🙂
Mr Incredible plots a home based ride for us, Pete tests interest in moraine, Spain or Majorca for potential 50th trip.
