Mt. Biking: Christmas Ride - Woburn Wind Direction: Wind Stength: Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: 3 Sea Temperature: Weather: Misty Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Today we were doing a ride to coincide with meeting up wives / husbands and
the ladeees ride, at the Rose & Crown in Ridgemont.
4 of us - Col, Mike the dentist, Yoshiand I, left Brog at nearly 11 and
took the usual trek over to Woburn. It was very muddy after all the rain
yesterday. In the woods the tracks were churned up. Big puddles in places
to try and slalom around. Very quickly we were covered in it, bikes with
rusty ropes instead of chains and pockmarked faces. We were joking about
everything and having a right laugh today.
On the return we went thro the Rhodedendrons and down the RH of the sand
track. On the return we did Sparky's Wall, I got some air off the jump at
the end.
On the ride home Mike picked up a thorn so we stopped to repair it. First
atempt failed, second was OK. We were last to arrive at the pub, except the
Dogfather that is. Denise had brought the car over and a change of clothes
for me. So it was nice to sit in the pub clean and dry and not poxy and
damp. There were 16 of us there, but grumpy Guru was hurumphing and
couldn't make it, something t do with a new sport called "Extreme Dental
Flossing", which is not for the faint hearted.
The grub was good value, nice roast lamb and a pint of Eagle. Cheers Col &
Sue.
