Dalyan Foxes



The Dalyan Foxes are born.
Whilst on a visit to Dalyan a ride was suggested by Geoff, out to golbasi for breakfast. We all met at Geoffs, raring to go, Me and Caz, Geoffs brother Kev and wife Janet and last but not least Head Vixen Sandy. We headed off at a leisurely pace turning onto the new beach road to cut acroos the top of town. Then onto the Iztuzu road towards the beach, the pace increased the talking started and then Carol and Janet went straight past the turning for the restaurant. A short sprint reeled them back and seats were taken for breakfast. A fine spread was had by all and then a trip on the pedalo by the 2 leaders of the day Carol andJanet where a similar thing happened. They got talking and didn't realise they had pedalled out onto the lake and were on the way to the beach (again). Luckily sense kicked in and they retuned at 10 knots to a safe mooring.

The ride back was nice, just right ,not too hot not too cold, back to the den for a quick chat and then home.
And the Dalyan Foxes were born....Keep it going fox leader Geoff...

mud larks


At last, it finally stopped raining long enough to get a decent Thursday night ride in. Eventful from the off, Lonesome Fox was abducted by aliens while crossing the A690 (come home soon, mate..) and as soon as we got thru Silksworth and left the tarmac the mud was there, lurking under the grass.. watery at first but gradually thickening to black porridge thru the woods... slippery as a fistful of butt cream, most of us stayed upright until the clarts gave way to giant lake-puddles, hub-deep water hazards that were so much fun we had to ride them twice.. in both directions.. well, what the hell, once you're wet you're wet... hot favourite for Best Ride of the Year, I reckon.
