6th September 2012 - Barbon

George, Jamie, Grant, Joel, Charlie and CT turned out on an evening where it was trying to rain, but just light warm mist, so what to wear Charlie could not decide but compared colours with Jamie (see photos, hasn't Charlie grown, nearly as tall as JB!). Usual route, warm up in first 100m up little hill, along lane, left onto bridleway up climb along track to lane, nice new tarmac, enjoy climb, steady away, through top gate and re-group, feels like the top but is really only half way up. George forgot his camera so no panorama views of the mist..but celebration 'Allsorts' from Charlie for doing well in some recent races! Carry on around hill and enjoy the descent, rocky, slippy and everyone sliding about, great fun. Back onto lanes, wave to some folk camping by the river, cross river, dip foot in river (JB), hammer back race styleee. Back to cars for chat, no pub, then home...although CT's Saab decided to make the journey tricky by cutting out a few times and so JB and Joel offered back up and followed CT to garage for new fuel! Next ride is Satterthaite, remember the Tour of Britain comes through Cumbria on Wednesday 12th September go and enjoy.
