Due to work schedules etc, the Fatbike Highland group will be delaying GFBD and riding on Sunday instead (I might just do Saturday as well, because tradition).

Meeting at Bothy Bikes, 10am. Route will be decided on the day but likely around Rothiemurchus. Usual social pace. Hoping for some local snowfall on Saturday/Sunday.

I'm sure you'd have a better attendance if you held this in Richmond park in London.

Ah. It's a number of meets all around the world. We kicked it off 6 or 7 years ago and it has grown arms and legs since then. It's quite possible there's a ride in London too.

Sunday is a much better day for it.

It started as "Fatterday" so it's traditionally been 1st Saturday in December. There are occasional attempts to move it to a different month/season, usually by some upstart colonials.

(Though TBF, I doubt it'll be like that here on Sunday either)

Meh, I guess I was being too subtle in my efforts to gently take the piss about Southern biking...

Get that snow a falling; I'm coming up in a few days...
