Notes :<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What a cracking ride and gathering for the first ride of the year for me. I know there was a ride on the 2nd January but I could not make it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Coley and 3sheds riding, together with PTD, El Presidente , Butty , Troll and yours truly there was a definite feeling of \u201cgetting the band back together\u201d .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paul takes control of route choice.  Silently, with his assured style. No debate, we just follow his lead. We are blessed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Teggs rear entry , and then at the top the crew splits into two briefly and we lose 3sheds . Thankfully he reappeared quickly , and then he does the full , dentist approved left hand off piste descent \u2026and tops it with the concrete steps to the reservoir dam. His Mojo has returned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Right at the Leathers and we climb to Nessit . Then the (lower half of ) downhill course , then a new short, sweet and loamy piece of single track . I love the way that even after almost 20 years of riding this forest PTD can show us new bits of track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then the footpath to the right for a while. Then some tarmac,\u00a0 the rezzies\u00a0 and onto the pub .\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paul is once again quietly in charge …ensuring all beer orders are getting sorted out \ud83d\ude42 . <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Here the beer choices gets a little weird and a tad ribald – Ginger Tinge and Chocolate Porter ! Much giggling. Thank goodness for the certainty for the Hoegaarden.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And El Presidente was also back to his normal cheeky self …finishing his pint before me and cajoling me to “Get The Beers In” …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To top it all we had a Sutton Hall surprise voucher from Xmas \u2026.it turnabout to be a 50% one !!.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
