Since Barney made such a fuss over Rick’s flapjack (OOOAAAH), we asked Rick to share the recipe, so you can have your own chorus of angels on your next ride (OOOAAAH). If you haven’t read the Classic Ride from issue 143 yet, make that ‘step one’ of the flapjack-making process. The flapjack pairs wonderfully with this mountain bike ride. Over to Rick: It’s my mate Waley’s flapjack recipe. He’s one of the lads I go winter climbing with in Scotland, and he sometimes brings a batch of his flapjacks for sharing on the hill. They are superb and are always very welcome.
