Now it had been a tad wet recently and the rain was still pouring down, but a few brave souls met up for some fresh air! Charlie, Joel, George and CT, JP had some new cut off goretex long shorts so he was ready, George and CT had long trousers, Charlie had gaiters, over shorts but summer shoes! So off into the forest, turn left and head onto the NF trails, we followed these for a while, Moor Top and down the NF, then along the fire road to find the rocky climb up. When we did find it, it was a river but actually quite rideable, even through the large puddles near the top (see video here) then we continued around the NF and back to the cars, a couple of hours damp riding ;) now the rain was easing the drive home was not too bad.
A few photos from the recent wet weather rides, AKA Global Wet Saturday :)
Next ride is planned to be Farleton from Milnthorpe, but we will review the weather.

The recent rainfall seems to be more than 2009 and a few rivers have burst their banks, so stay safe out there.
Perhaps over 200mm of rainfall at the weekend.
