Ride report: Sunday 18 May – all in the wrist

Friday slacking

Given the damp forecast for the week-end, who can blame us for taking ‘a little bit’ out of the working day and enjoying the reasonably dry trails?  Apologies to those who were stuck in their offices, but we have all been there, honest!  Running a little late, I was already ‘cream crackered’ by the time we met Jonesy and Batbling … Read the rest…
