Up Highgate to South Head, Down Roych Clough, turning right down to Malcoff, up Beet lane to South Head again, and back down to white lady and campsite.

Riders: Only four of us out (was it the bad weather forecast or something we said?!): Ross, Gary, FP Dave, and yours truly.

Weather: It stayed dry! We could see lots of rain over Cheshire and Manchester but not on us...

Conditions: There has been A LOT of rain recently so we chose an 'all weather' route so the trails were actually very good/firm.

Bryan: sorry to hear about your broken toe, get better soon.

Thanks Ben, I dont know if it will be that quick tho seen as Ross made me ride all the way back to his car! ;)
I suppose he did drop me off at A+E on his way home and TBH I was surprised when I was told it was broken and even more surprised when they said in 2 places!
At least its not the Metatarsal, dont want people thinking I'm a footballer :lol:

I'm not out tonight - getting things sorted before going away.
But might be persuaded to join you for a swift pint later...

Ah, so people are still looking at the Forum. Could be a wet one tonight. I hope someone has got a suitable ride planned.
Hello cuckookab. That is the name of a bird and not a Taxi service isn`t it. Look forward to riding with you.

I just thought that I'd tell those of you who do not already know...

Congratulations to Rick and Debs for the birth of Erin Daisy Stott.
Apparently Erin is doing well and is guzzling milk down like there is no tomorrow…

Well done - we'll have to wet the baby's head soon!

Cheers Ben
