Sunday 17th January

After much consideration it was decided that we would ride even though the weather was looking dodgy. Phatboy, Mellonfarmer, Tinkerbell and Dozer all showed up on time. Off we went, grinding up Huntsbury with the cloud gathering at the top of the hill. No real water laying on the track. Due to us being keen followers of the MTB code we avoided the singletrack due to wet weather (although tracks looked quite dry) and headed around the rode towards the Bridal Path. The cloud was actually dry. Poor visability but we had no moisture on our clothes even though the wind was cool. At Castlerock we had an inspection and decided that the track was good to ride. The rocks were a bit slippery but the track was in great condition. No puddles or sticky spots at all. Down the bridalpath we came then right onto the track towards Morgans Valley. Stayed off the no bikes track dropping down into Morgans valley itself. Around the back of ferrymead, onto the tow path and then to WAC for coffee. Nice trip in all. Enjoyed the pump.
