"The sun was out and it was warm on the ground as we all parked up by the church, Trevor was even sporting an optimistic short sleeve number but it soon got a little chilly and very windy on the tops as we climbed around Casterton Fell and descended towards Barbon Low Fell. Phil was still maintaining that single speed mountain biking was the way forward!
With the end in sight and only one slight technical (Harry puncturing again for the second week in a row) it was all steam ahead for the final descent through the woods descent at Barbon Park. But before we could get there it was the Beck crossing at Barbon Beck. While attempting to follow Jamie's lead of a clean pass through the water, Joel managed to clip a rock and face plant into the water to everyone's amusement and wisely everyone else decided to opt for the bridge crossing. Luckily Ian had organised the chips in the pub, so everyone was happy!
Riders present: Jamie, Trevor, Harry, Charlie, Ian, Joel, Grant, Phil, George, Paul"
