Nothing too mad or remote for the first MNPR of the year

8:15 blast off
Bring money for vegan sausage rolls

In it for a biscuit

I’ll join up with you over our side of the valley, at the top of the Rake. If we’ve got time we could squeeze in Michaels Wife Lane and the descent past the Fisherman’s to finish

Excellent. Want me to bring that Christmas Card or should I hang on to it?

I’m in.

I’m going to try get back on it. Think I only did one MNPR last year.

Sorry can make it this week. Have a great ride.

gonna do my best to be there.

Its absolutely bucketing down at the moment, but its forecast to clear up this afternoon, and its not cold, so we should be reet. I was out the other day and the trails are surprsingly un-soggy still so I was thinking of going up over Pilgrims Cross and dropping down Robin Hoods Well from there

Guys, if you’re driving tonight, park up across the road from the E&C. Their car park is pretty small so don’t want to fill it up.

Doubt I’m gonna make it tonight so don’t hang about if I’m not there.

Thats a pity Daz. You could have added to your extensive reecnt photos of rding through pea-soupers where you can’t see 10ft in front of you

Doesn’t really work in the dark though. Haven’t written it off just yet, it’s just unlikely.

Top ride

Cheers chaps

Good to get out last night. Even the walk at the end was most agreeable.

When we got out of the pub I noticed my back tyre was flat as well. Perhaps it came out in sympathy with yours. It was indeed a nice evening for a walk though
