Well that was a bit of a shock to the system after the dryish trails of the weekend. Only 5 of us out, including 2 new to the club riders, Dave and Eilidh. The heavy clouds were threatening from the very start so PistolPete led us off on a wee 25 min loop of the urban trails, back round to the trails just after the bombhole, where we proceeded up through the new section beside the old quarry, out through Hole in the Wall and played around on Voodoo. Dave did a cracking face first mud slide down the grassy bank and we all managed a few dabs and slithers along the top trail, before much hilarlity negotiating a claggy claggy claggy John’s -). Down the muddy rhoddy descent and up Snakey, at which time the heavens really opened. It was only about half 9 but getting dark and decidedly yeuch, so a wee play around the lowish sections of Drumclog Moor and a hasty retreat back down Snakey etc to be back at the club just before 10. Nice being out, but a big bundle of soggy kit in the wash – just like a winter Wednesday night really -)

Aye, we got to the point that we couldn’t get any wetter but it wasn’t cold so we kept warm as long as we kept moving. A pleasant ride despite the rain.
Cheers for the ride tonight, much more enjoyable riding in a group – especially in the wet and along new trails! Hope to make an appearance on a regular basis, esp if there is tea and biscuits to be had! :o)

Oh, and Iain, should’ve gone to Specsavers – I counted 6 of us…
ach, I struggle when I get past 5, counting was never my strength -)
