Tomorrow looks cold and icy, so strictly mountain bikes and off road. It’s not suitable for a road tea ride. Wrap up warm and meet at 10 am if you have a suitable bike and warm clothing.

Tea Ride apology
Tomorrow’s weather looks grim and Sally and Elke are both busy doing other things so there will not be a ride leader for tomorrow. Any hardy people who wish to arrange and meet for a ride tomorrow should carry on, use the rear hub page on Facebook. Otherwise look out for a special birthday tea ride happening next week – put it in your diaries! Happy New Year!
