Controversially, the next Purbecks ride may be stopping at a different pub. This is only a rumour and has yet to be confirmed. Other rumours include lashings of cream and jam and possible awards given for best dressed, shinyest bike and most amusing crash.

Yes, thanks to buzz for fixing it. Thanks to you guys for tons of lovely photos. Great ride, great company, great pics, great muffins, very good weather. Looking forward to the next one already.

Hey to everyone who rode Mendips last Sunday. Many thanks to Buzz for a fantastically well organised group ride.

I'm Ralph (the one on the borrowed Pipedream Sirius) and new to 'singletrackworld' as well as mass MTB gatherings. I'll have my own bike and gear as of next week and so thouroughly look forward to riding with everyone again soon – any idea where that will be. Thanks again, Ralph
