2nd April 2009 - Gilpin Bridge sort ride & meal

This is the last official winter night ride of the season, to be marked by the traditional end of season meal, a few folk thought it would stay light until 8pm and so would risk riding without lights, 9 were ready for 6.30 just about to set out when JP turned up and then CM. Neil had headCam, so watch out. So 11 set out (CT, Ian, Phil, Jamie, Paul, George + new helmet, Grant, John, Neil, JP, & CM) for the blast out and around Yewbarrow, enjoying two descents through the trees. All very enjoyable with the setting sunshine, almost summer! and great views over the fells and out towards the bay, whilst we passed 4 bullocks passing the time of day and probably wondering what on earth a bunch of MTBers were doing riding over their grass! Back at the cars and a guest appearence by Jim (part time retired biker) standing in for TG! into the pub grab a few tables to make 12 settings and enjoy the scoff, no puddings, we must be getting too........ (just fill in the space), we also discussed the next group event, over the weekend 16-17 May, Wild Boar 24, camping, social and MTB event!
Next ride is Crook/Winster from the village car park on the main Crook road.
