Ross led four more of us on a mystery tour taking in a remarkable number of new singletrack sections. From Delamere to the Whitegate Way, through to Oulton Park, Cotebrook, Primrose Hill then back over Old Pale for lunch back at our starting point. Mike had a disagreement with a rock, Eleanor had 2 punctures and I had one, so morale may have been a little low.
Nobody wanted to join me to ride the Packhorse Bridges, so I went on my own. And here they are…well two of them anyway. There are three altogether and really quite impressive. If you want to know where they are, you’ll have to come out on another off road ride. Two more punctures (sandpaper, glue and patches by now) and a brief stop at the Ice Cream Farm before home to complete 6 hours riding in preparation for the big one next weekend!
I know where they are! Last time I passed that way was on a ride back from Chester, me on my old Postie bike, and my cousin riding an original Moulton. I seem to remember it was sunny like that too.
Good luck for next weekend, long range weather forecast looks promising at least.
Cheers Matthew. Are you riding the club track champs?
yeah, great route Ross – technical stuff mixed in with some great flowing sections.
Eleanor – work on Mike for some spd’s for next time (and tell him maybe go for 8 inch of travel on them front bumper munchers instead of 6!)
Thanks again Nick and keep me posted on the volunteer side of the velodrome on the 5th.
