19th April 2012 - Barbon



Chris M & George enjoying the evening light, 'resting' half way up hill;)
4 folk made it to Barbon on a clear evening, Ian was first but had chain issues in that half a power link had fallen off, luckily George had spare 9 speed ones as he now has 10 speed chain. Chris M, George, Ian and CT set off up the lane, but next issue was spd cleats, so tighten bolts and off again. At this point we were passed by a solo mtb rider, we thought maybe we'll catch up later. On to the first bridleway section steep as usual, then along the track for a mile or so and guess what 2x punctures, Chris m and Ian. At the lane turn left and climb, this section had been re-tarmaced very smooth. Usual route up, up and along, down to the ford, cross ford. race back. we never did catch the other rider, he was probably in the pub! Next ride is Ings with meal after.
