Great ride, cotswalds at their best - sunny and dry!

Nice to find new local trails.

Thanks for organising and leading it Daj, good to meet you at last!

I'd be well up for making that a regular event (GTs not essential!), here's some pics:

Daj in action at the bomb holes:

I am just off the right side - honest - you can see the leaves in the air(!) (good job Daj didn't take the snaps at Kate and Will's wedding! :roll

The bikes enjoy a we'll earned pint of BB:

Looks good, I have a loop around Eastleach which I used to ride quite often ending in a pint. Count me in on next ride out if an unfit born again biker is welcome.

 

[Russell]

And me!

 

[daj]

Thats brilliant chaps!!

Eastleach sounds good, I have a Cotswold book too that covers all aroud notsgrove and more over your way

will post next date up soon, unless you would like to suggest a date for a Eastleach ride?

original thoughts were for a sunday a month and wednesday evenings when possible for the keen?

 

[Russell]

I ride every Wednesday night at the moment and would be happy to ride with you guys aswell.

There are a few of us around the cheltenham/gloucester area now and we're surrounded by some great trails, we should make more of an effort to ride them.

Like the sound of it Russ, do you meet same place or move about? Get some meeting dates and places over to me and I will construct some sort of calender with some sundays

 

[Russell]

Will pm you.
