NIGHT RIDE

NIGHT RIDE!! YES a night ride!!! this tuesday at the shop 5.30-6.00 dont know where we're going yet but hey thats all part of the fun ..

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.

English weather

Just keeping you's all up to date, not much to report...2 rides cancelled due to crap weather, one ride attempted in driving rain and gale force winds, hard ride but at least we got out for a spin...
Low turnout recently due to holidays , weather, broken bikes...etc

Last 2 Rides

Good ride a couple of weeks ago, and a good turn out. Fox leader, Leopard Fox, Legal, Urban, Taxi,Quick Brown and Pitbull.

Usual Ride up through Silksworth (the softies missing the hills) up throught the park and then on to the woods near Warden Law. It had rained the day before and the woods were very greasy, so lots of close calls on the corners and over the roots,, Brill !

Off to penshaw next, or so we thought, but a slight detour up through some woods took us too far in the wrong direction, so the ride seemed to be over quite quick as we found ourselves back on the river before we knew it...not to worry it was fantastic weather and a good laugh all the way.

This is Leopard fox, or Bri as he is commonly known, on his nice new Yeti, all dressed up in his matching kit, Doesn't he look pretty and very well coordinated.

Last weeks ride 26/6/08..Poor turnout, most had good excuses, some have gone into hibernation (must think they're bears.)Only 4 out this week, but what a ride. We set off up the lines and then down onto the river, tearing it up on an amazing bit of single track down to the river side and along to Cox green. While in the area we stopped for a photo shoot coz we found a crocodile


After our bit of tom foolery the decision was made to head up to, you guessed it, penshaw. We tried to get there up the edge of a field coz it looked like we could, but we couldn't so we ended up climbing up through the local estate and down through a fab wood full of fairies and mushrooms, time for another photo shoot.

Then down through the golf course and down again through more beautiful woods to the river and back to town.. (see route log above).. low turnout good ride...
