Mad\u00a0Axe Men:\u00a0PTD, G, Butty, El Pres, Stunt<\/p>\n

Also Riding: 3 Sheds, Croxy<\/p>\n

Pub: Slim, Lee<\/p>\n

Route: BL, New Road, Chazza, Extension, Cat, Axe Edge, Cross the Moor to Haws\u00a03 Shires, Cut Thorne, Chumby, Standing Stone, Singletrack by the Shutlingsloe gate, Kirsten Munt descent, singletrack & rezzies, Sutton Hall (B riders did Danebower hollow & Chumby)<\/p>\n

Conditions: Clear skies, almost no wind, dry trails and pockets of cold air (thick fog in Macc post pub)<\/p>\n

Stats: PTD punctures again<\/p>\n

Notes:<\/p>\n

The weather comes good for PTD’s ambitious plan for Axe Edge…and for Croxy to ride \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Butty arrives with Green Blood and Stunt with Red Face, Butty because rebuilding a bike is easier than replacing bearings in a hope hub!?, Stunt because he was in a rush to make it.<\/p>\n

Kershaw rules are applied<\/p>\n

Decision to do Chazza to break up the climb and give anyone who wanted a gentler pace to the Cat suits all, but the 8 minute (according to G) difference extends to nearer 15 as PTD punctures yet again on chazza (more air pressure maybe?). However he dazzles us with his slick tyre changing technique.<\/p>\n

Extension very skittery – and dry rocks are the theme of the night.<\/p>\n

Regroup at the Cat, only to diverge into A (for A<\/strong>xe) and B (for daneB<\/strong>ower) teams<\/p>\n

A team blast down the road and then onto the moor – in time to see B team lights coming across Danebower.<\/p>\n

Dry fast\u00a0dusty and loose, El Pres has a dab but survives! 3 Shires is reached very rapidly. Majority decision to avoid the muddy field, so a dry and skitterish Cut Thorne\u00a0is a decent challenge (apart from G & PTD who give it a very good go!). Setting the dogs off at the top, and steaming profusely its on and up to Chumby.<\/p>\n

The big hole on Chumby is even bigger! and a strange muddy stripe all along the right hand side from below the gate.<\/p>\n

Tired tired legs up to standing stone, and a final fling around the forest to enjoy fun singletrack and descents.<\/p>\n

Sutton Hall by 9:30 hundred hours a spiffing good effort (not sure the rest of the clientele were as impressed with our aroma)<\/p>\n

Oracle & Lucan for the masses, a dodgy Leffe would stike down butty the next day, and\u00a0then some fresh clothing & hearty meals. Welcome appearances from Slim (on the mend) and Lee. Dan Bike stickers issued!<\/p>\n

Foggy rides home<\/p>\n
