January 2010 Group Ride Report 30/01/2010
Bucksmtb.co.uk Cross Country XC Local Trails Ride Out

Ten o'clock, Saturday morning - a little early for some. This however didn't stop fourteen of you joining us for our first Group Ride of 2010.

The event started about twenty past ten leaving Coombe Hill Monument car park taking in about a thirteen mile loop of Coombe, Chequers, Cadsden, Whiteleaf, Hughenden Manor before returning towards Coombe Hill.

The trail conditions were infact a lot better than we had thought they may be, a good solid frost overnight meant the trails were running well. A few areas of sticky muddy still remained from the thawing of the Tonnes of snow that the weather gods have thrown at us over the Christmas Period.

The turn out was great, and we thank everyone who attended. We have a good mix of riders from various backgrounds, riding various bikes and of various fitness levels.

We had a really good vibe from everyone who attended, and I'm glad that we managed to show some of the riders some news trails and a new route that they hadn't done before.

The ride ended back at Coombe Hill at around half past twelve. Some of the riders went off to brave another loop of Wendover to head off to the Woods Cafe, whilst some of us disappeared for our afternoon plans and appointments.

Amazingly no punctures availed on this ride, which must be a first. Other than my crankset causing problems the ride went smoothly with no real mechanicals to speak of.

A big thank you goes out to everyone who supported the ride and attended, it was great to see such a good turn out. Photos of the day are available to view online. Click here to view the gallery
