    I Live in Corsham, and have riden with you before (one of the night rides before xmas)

    May pop up for one.... the rain last tine i rode it (with all the slippy wood) really put me off the route, and its a little short for me to drive over to ride. but on a dry day i will give it a chance :)

    We've had a lot of issues with the woodwork, but believe that we now have the solution.
    We found that heavy duty flexible roofing tiles provides really good grip, so we're going to cover the wooden sections. They've moving anyway.

    Some existing sections have suffered in the rain and snow and need some remedial work.
    The new start is taking shape.
    We really need as much help as possible on the trail building days in March and April.

    Hi, that sounds great.
    Sat 13th wasn't originally scheduled in (Sun 14th was), but we never turn down the chance to do some trail work, so we can be there.
