Let's offroad / mountain bike / mtb / ride dirt

Tester however seemed to escape all such problems, clearly not a dedicated follower of fashion.

I was just too far behind for you to notice when I hooked a tree with my bar end and bike and I parted company in opposite directions

we noticed some others riding SS and I mentioned to Tester that there were others for him to play with, Jorj I hope you did not take offence (as you suddenly decided it was time to return to the carpark and back home)

No offence taken, I'm just too fat and unfit at this time of year, and I had a bit of a cold, and my asthma has never liked cold air + heavy breathing, so I thought discretion was the better part of valour.

There was talk of possible Boxing Day ride, I am hoping I get a chance to burn off some of the xmas xs.

Boxing day ride for me will be in my much more familiar territory of 10 miles against the clock on the Bath Road http://www.maidenheadcc.org.uk/node/542
