Balls. I have come to work without charging my light up. Thwarted once again.

Sorry Johnnie, will have to arrange for some other time.

Just out of interest, how long does it take to do a loop of the quarry ?

Didn't have a watch on me but I estimate that the red takes around 25-30 mins.

I'm going on Saturday for a couple of laps.

Right, going to try and sneak home and put the light on charge. So aiming to be there for about 6.30-7ish. Can you bring your lumi just in case ?

Anyway... YHM.

Can someone do me a street map arrow and where to park ?

Dont do it justice really. Great little loop.

The real bonus was on the final loop, doing the 1st climb and cresting the hill to a perfect full moon. Breathtakingly beautiful, sadly my photo skills did not do it justice.

Great ride out, great company. Cheers guys.

yeah, it's ideal really. pretty central for getting to so many great riding spots...
not sure on the racing. i'm very unfit. possibly going to enter the STW classic weekender though...
