Mild conditions made for a good turn out on the New Years Day ride including a rare appearance from the Brown's who will no doubt be giving us some pain in a few months as long as they keep it going.

Neil was rather annoyed to suffer two rear wheel punctures especially as he had been told that the tyres were puncture proof (when he bought them five years ago). A gentle ride was enjoyed by all and just to make Ian happy I managed to drift off the back going up the Gully towards Buckstones.
Did you get to the Works? I think I made the right decision turning at Hardon Moss, I'd have had well over an hour's ride home from Sowerby Bridge if I'd stayed with you and after a stint in the pub might have found I needed lights - which I didn't have.
ReplyDeleteAs it was I had a pleasant ride home making my way through Holme Bridge and over the tops above Hade Edge and through Victoria; I got home at quarter past one, just about managing to keep band int' nick so you never know I might be allowed out to Kettlewell next weekend.
