Off Road End Of Term Report

For me, our off road ride today marks the end of the off road season (wet weather forecast next week), so I will not be organising any more off road rides until next June (unless I can persuade anyone to do the cuckoo trail sometime?). Many thanks to all the riders who made it such a great season despite some of the set backs we enountered. Its been an interesting season with some highs and some lows so i thought i would reflect on them

-ve:
Heavy rain for the start of the season
Bewl water only rideable about 60% of the time
Dave HH breaking his collar bone at Bedgebury
Having to keep cancelling Downs rides until July
Getting more than our share of punctures

+ve
Good dry weather for the second half of the season
Not too hot or too cold
Dave HH made a rapid recovery and was able to ride off road in september
Duncan and Ivan completed their first South downs way in a day
29ers are not hype, they really are much better
Steve C and Ivan buy and love their 29ers.
Fabulous weather for the 4th year running for our annual ride to brighton
Dave HH and Derek becoming regular riders with us
Mapping out our best ever local ride

Goodbye to all this! (until next year)

See you all next year
