Started off slip sliding along the forest road on my modified Ae ride for the day. Up Rabs Slippy Bit, turn right at the top and head for the new blue descent, Colin`s Folly. Then left at the bottom of this and then left again up the old blue forest road descent. Turning right at the next junction and heading along another forest road to the Face to complete the red route from there 😀

Good stuff, John. We'll need to get out soon. Now that Gemma has left the Shed @ Mabie, is the post night ride dinner done for as well?.
Not been night riding since Nov so not sure if Dave has carried on providing the service
