22nd October 2009 - Wister

8 riders came out to Winster, one with a new HID and one with new battery, so 3 HIDs, 1 LED and the rest Halogens. Head south from church and look out for the ford, fairly high water so no takers we used the bridge, steady ride up the lane, turn right at Cote Hill and take the right hand track past Green Hill. It was a bit damp but not that cold, short arms Ok with some! Still quite a few puddles and mud at the bottom. Some discussion on route and which is the best downhill, so we took a little detour around Broom Hill and back into the village, past the Brown Horse and take the left turn up the bridleway past Bow Mabble Breast, it was getting damper...very slippy over the top and then round the lanes past Bateman Fold, now take the right then left turn for the climb and descent and back to the cars. Now it had stopped raining and the stars were out, no pub stop and JP just wanted to keep going to test out his new HIDs! Next ride is Lowick.
