April's ride started at Coombe hill and headed out towards Dunsmore, Great Hampden, Chequers, and Whiteleaf before looping back round and heading back towards Coombe Hill.

Rider feedback on the day again indicated that despite being centered on an area familiar to most riders we still managed to show the group some new trails, which is all part of why we enjoy putting on these group rides.  

As seems to be becoming the norm for monthly Bucksmtb rides this one was again characterized by muddy trail conditions, which were particularly hard work on the up hills!!

Despite the mud and slipping and sliding around, everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and as usual there was plenty of banter between the five riders out with us. We might have spent the ride fighting for grip in the mud, but we were at least lucky enough to be blessed with sunshine on the ride, infact it actually felt quite warm while we were out - here's hoping that dry trails will follow just around the corner.

A big shout of thanks must go out to everyone who attended and made the day a great success, and another big shout of thanks must go out to everyone who helped organise and lead the days ride.
