Owing to some technical problems with my text service I found out this ride was due to start 45 minutes before hand. This was a bit of a problem seeing as it's a 45 minute drive to get there and I also had to sort out my bike and gear. An hour of rushing and swearing at slow drivers later I arrived at The Fox & Hounds to the expected abuse. I had arranged with Baz that they would do a half hour lap while waiting for me to arrive but they had hung about the car park instead!

New years day 2011 fell on a Saturday so the usual Saturday afternoon ride was on to blow out the hangovers from the night before! Seven of us including myself showed up on a damp and mild (compared to recent) day.
We set off over slippery bridge without incident and then Mick took the lead taking us into the old pit site at Calverton. We then dipped back into the woods for some singletrack. It was hard going on the soft, damp ground and the logs to be crossed were damn slippy! After a couple of hours of our favourite trails we headed back via the pit again. Nick had a comedy over the bars before we finished across the fields from Calverton. These were horrible: soggy and just plain hard work. We were all ready for a pint at the end.

I've had an idea to blog all my rides for a year. I reckon it'll be interesting to see where I ride, how often, what happens etc etc during 365 days? At the end I'll be interested to total them up.
This is where I'll record what I get up to. I'm not sure how it will pan out. Some reports could be full blown with video etc? Some could be quick one liners just to say where and when? Let's see what happens.....?
