8of us did the red run, prep for the Dirty Dozen

4 riders, about 18 miles in the snow, some of it off-road.


Dec 6th

Ilkely,  Denton Moor

11 of us, only about 8 miles on the bikes. More effort put into the mince pies than the bking


Sunday Nov 1st

Gargrave, Bell Busk, Bank Newton

4 of us turned up and did about 9 miles, probably 3 of those miles underwater.
Possibly the wettest, flooded-est ride I've been on, but at least we got through, unlike boy-racer.
