    Don't worry I'm not fast or very fit at the moment! Mix of people, some that haven't ridden very much at all! We're not going to be hammering it round!

    Ziggy, you missed a good ride today! Tis a good trail with some nice flowing single track!
    Managed to stack it near the end, went over the handle bars and landed on a log at the top of the bank! Now have very sore ribs but other than that a good day all round! Will let you know when we go again!

    R u sorted with lights for evening fun????
    I tried going out of catshill over the summer as u suggested, with varying success, lol, ended up in a few fields full of cows!!!!! they were very very big!!!!!!!!!
    I have some girli's from work that i take over cannock occasional work nights, then try to get to the wyre, but my job is not allowin me to get there in time, a ride over the lickys in an evening would be fab, think i've got a bit better since we last rode, hopefully.
