Hi,
just to say thanks for coming yesterday, hope you all enjoyed the ride despite it being considerably longer than advertised! I missed a turn at Middlehead Top which added on a few miles

Great ride thanks Willow. Well led and don't worry about the occasional nav error, there's a lot going on with such a big group and no-one worries about the odd u-turn in such fab weather.
Some good new tracks for me too and the one over Hograh Moor goes straight into my top 10 - classic moorland singletrack that puts a huge smile on your face.

Agree with the above, a sensational day Willow, you led it superbly! 14 of us enjoyed the sun, surf, sand, bikini-clad beach-goers, lots of purple stuff on the Moors and some fantastic riding…OK, maybe the sand was an exaggeration.
Loved the café at Kildale too, can’t understand how that one has eluded me on the Club road runs! Had a Eureka moment in the café when I discovered a group of MTB-ers that crave the same ‘recovery drink’ that I do at the end of a ride!
Really enjoyed cranking up the group riding on the return leg as we chased the Spanish hare, Manolo, up the climbs…a great way to lose my holiday saddle-bags! Thought I’d gone troppo in the sun when two uni-cyclists rode past us in the opposite direction above Kildale! The extra miles in the day meant I got home a bit late to the proverbial wrist-slapping, but it was well worth it! Thanks heaps Chris, a sensational day!

PS. A special well done to the Trans-Walers; a huge challenge, awesome result!
