Notes:

Early faffing hints that we may have triggered an “Ericurse”.

A short ride big on steep hills.

More faffing on the gritstone trail allows appreciation of Bethlehem like rainow.

…Even more faffing triggers a splinter group!

Ericurse lifts now that group rider balance is restored 🙂

Ninja exploits down to Oakenbank from above.

Did El Puds chain snap or did it simply wear through? Evidence collected for later analysis!

Cosy welcome at the Cock and Pheasant.

Quiz night gave added interest (well until we lost interest)

Cashlow produces coins and nearly wins a Brucie bonus 🙂

RAIers confused as to why only 3 glasses from a whole bottle?

Marc has a wheelie bad idea

Axis of E Sail away in an old ship 😉
