10th January 2013 - Troutbeck

It was a little foggy on the way over, down to 20mph (car speed), so helmet mounted lights could be fun, Charlie, Neil, Grant, George, Jamie and CT met up in the lay-by near the church. So there were 6 of us, 3 on 29er and 3 on full sus'; the symmetry continued as 3 were wearing red tops and the others blue, so teamwork by default. Route was up Limefitt then on up Garburn, down to Dubbs, along the road, watch out for ice, right and down the last section of Garburn down to the road; on the last technical section JB tried to overtake CT (red top) but unfortunately it was Charlie who was caught in the jet-wash and knocked off course! (also in red top), no harm done must look out for colour blind MTBers ;) Down the foggy road in colour formation (not) down the grassy hill, watch out for the bomb hole (it's getting bigger) over the wooden bridges - very slippery - and up into Troubeck, then Robin lane and rest at the seat looking at the starry night sky. Tried to take a red/blue team photo on a phone camera in the dark = rubbish! Down the track and back to the cars, it was a tad cold. Next ride Barbon
