4 met up at the bottom of Dubbs lane, Chris M, Jamie, Freddie and CT, a bit windy, no real rain and a few stars were out, everyone else was at home watching Cavo win Sports P'of the Year. We set off up Moorhowe road to meet the next junction and tee off north past Latrigg to intersect with the bottom section of Garburn and see if we could ride the washed out bit and yes it was possible with some dabs. Along the road and down the field to cross and climb up to Town End, shed a layer as we were warming up and then through the village to climb up Robin Lane, we were wondering where all the rocks had gone, the ones washed down onto the roads 2 weeks ago, it appears as if the workmen have been and re-done Robin lane already, so it was a steady climb and then a fast drop down from the seat, then down Wain and along to Mirk for the climb back up and again climb back to the seat and down to the post office for a sit down and snack on JB's banana bread (recipe to follow?) very nice and moist. Down through the village past the church and up limefitt for the climb part way up Garburn to meet the junction with Dubbs, now this is where Freddie light decided to die, so he borrowed JB's helmet light for the blast down Dubbs, there was some loose rocks and some ravines, but it's a great fast ride. Back to the cars; according to gps log (so pinch of salt?) 10 odd miles, 2 hr 20min, only 744 calories burnt! and over 2000 ft climbed. Enjoy Christmas and a happy New Year. PS: photo message from Neil attachged, a great picture...spot Santa?
