It's been a while...

It was such a busy spring and summer that social rides have taken a back seat, so after threatening to turn up on the Tuesday night ride for months I thought it was time to get the lights out and make good on my promise.

I think it's fair to say that after over a year of not riding with lights, I need to get my eye in again.

It was fun though and after a typically chilly and blustery start at Blakey we were straight into some techy singletrack and a long, long down.

Long downs can only mean one thing though and over the course of the ride there were some great steep and techy climbs. Conditions were incredibly dry and it was a great chilled out ride to ease me back into it! Thanks lots to Adrian for putting the ride together and it was great to catch up with some of the gang. In fact I got closer to some than others eh Phil!? Let's hope it's not another year before we catch up again although as we move into the darker nights I'm thinking I might just get back into this night riding lark. Unless it's raining! ;o)
