That's the location of my most recent un-planned instant dismount.Fortunately it was a while ago & I have subsequently developed a strategy which minimises the possibility of an action replay.

It's good to see some of the old boys club back riding together and supporting new riders too...reminds of Colinj's rides.

I'm just a bit gutted I missed out due to my chest infection. Hopefully there'll be another one shortly..hint hint.

Welcome Ali, so glad you enjoyed yourself and have not been put off by the pain. It was a good ride and I am glad to back out with everyone after nearly two years away sorting my future out on my college course. We also had Steve from Ashton and Steve's (Also from Ashton ) brother ( g_dog) paying a visit from the sticks and now part of the gang.
Hope you are out soon bromptonfb along with Colin, I am hoping this year is going to be a good CC year.

After all the NYD talk of Audax, was compelled to check out the Audax uk site, very interested in the Malmesbury Mash but might be a bit ambitious for me with such a short time to prepare!

So am I ! (when get I around to entering).
Let's hope there isn't as much flooding as last year.
