Now I've been doing a few of the Wednesday rides and I've got my new light bike I decided to join the Nirvana group ride on a Sunday which I have not done for years.
Wow! Having this new lighter bike really made it sooo much more fun, for once I was not at the back, in fact I was in the middle of the group and it was great fun - even on the climbs! So nice to have a bike that responds on the climbs and does not wallow up sapping all your energy.
Trails were reasonably firm as it was cold so the mud was a little more frozen. We had 11 people at the start but after the Peaslake stop just 5 of us left the others having split off and headed back. We rode from Westcott up rookery to Summer lightning DH trail then over Leith - watched Gilles and Sam ride sticky fingers then over to Peaslake for tea and cheese straws.
We headed up Pitch to Proper Beau where Gilles and Sam were persuaded to pose for the camera in the above video. Then we made a speedy return through some very light snow flurries back to Nirvana Cycles for tea with Simon.
Some of the riders: - Gilles, Sam, Richard, Ian, Jo, Claire, Bettina, Simon, Duncan, and 2 names I don't know yet.
