Notes

  • A PTD ride and pub choice idea . Food logistics execution by yours truly 
  • The forest was chosen by Mr Croxford so we could find a snacking stop to share his French sausage (Many double entendres in the WhatsApp chat before hand ) .
  • Croxy was trying to get his annual ride turnout stats up….at the eleventh hour   
  • The French snacking never happened as we ran out of time messing about in the forest 
  • We share the far end of the King’s head with The Sutton Mafia (Andy, Mark & Phil and The Fourth Man) 
  • The King’s head was a very good choice – session IPA at 4.4% , something called Kodiak . Good nosh and excellent service .  
  • Butty & TJ arrive at the pub late on with very good news and big smiles 
  • Bernards winter MTB wardrobe has a full reveal – three layers of vintage football shirts !
