Conditions: Warm & Dry
Notes:
An evening of toasting some milestone birthdays, with PTD celebrating 61, as he hadn’t been able to do 60 last year, and Dunc now 50!
Route kept simple to ensure sufficient time to imbibe, Emma dropped by en route from work en bike to say hi, various folk were running late, so we started on the zig zags, and by the top we had almost everyone. Paul phoned in the menu order, and G arrived about 30 seconds later.
The ebike had changed colour – this being the one that will live in France in due course.
Chazza loose and rocky…but not as loose and rocky as the extension!!
Chapeau to Phil & Coley on hard tails!
A ride/push up back of the moon to get a nice view (and some rocks for dispensing on)
Bellinis (Prosecco with fresh peach slice)
Mojito (White Peak White Rum, and fresh mint, and ice cubes!)
Funky finished us off with a wee nip of Highland Park.
Lovely and dry across the moor, with a responsible descent down the slabs with nesting season still underway off the tracks.
The singletrack to nessit getting quite overgrown.
Everyman to themselves on route choice down to the Poachers.
Excellent service in the relaxed Marquee, with barmaid banter of the Canuck variety, as the sky turned red with the sunset behind Teggs nose.
An Axis of evil fled the midges and had bad boy whiskies.
16C at midnight in tropical tythy.
Felt like a normal TNR..and the band properly back together.
