Saturday ride



So far this year each time me and Jane decided on a road ride, Gary calls and says 'it's icy and we're meeting up for an mtb ride'. :)

So we ride down to Rykers to meet the others and we pick up Gary en route.

At Rykers we have a dozen riders and some amazing bikes ranging from the dawn of mountain biking to the present day! It's soooo cool like a living mtb museum :) There are hardtails, full sus, fully rigid, singlespeed. Many with kit that I'd forgotten existed - canti's, v brakes, six speed, seven speed. I'm not being a gear snob, it's great to see that we don't need at least six inches of travel front and rear and a two grand frame to have some fun off road :)

Anyway we had a great couple of hours pottering around the trails and stopping for tea at Newland's Corner.
