...the weather was good (considering it was snowing on Monday!), the tracks were a mix of dry and muddy, there was a good collection of pootlers and off we went for another edition of a Tuesday Bad Brains Pootle.
Leading this ride from The Plough at Warmfield was the great Uncle Chip himself. There must have been around 10 of us out last night, good turnout for a mid winter ride. Only 5 minutes into the ride and it was hard on the brakes trying to avoid bumper to bumper collisions as we all involuntarily regrouped right on top of the remains of a burnt out car...unfortunatley Chip had sustained a shrapnel injury from the once smouldering vehicle. An injury that the slime in his tubeless tryes could not save. After a short while, and with new tube firmly in place we were back on our way.
We took in the delights of some places which were familiar to me (Haw Park Wood, Wintersett) and some which were not.
Not too much of an eventful ride other than Phil managing to complete an arse over handlebars moment which for us viewers was hilarious, perhaps not so for Phil who subsequntly had to detangle his plumbs from his handle bar and cable combination.
All in all a great ride out (apart from the cramp in both sets of toes at the same time in the ride!) and a top pint of Theakstons to finish with.
