A Small Consulation

I tell you, reading all the brilliant ride reports on this site is seriously doing my head in whilst stuck in the British winter. Fortunately we haven't had any rain for about 10 days so on Sunday I could not take it any longer and convinced Maverick (as if he needed any convincing!) to join me in a ride out in a field near my house. The whole are is only about 20ha and it's mostly grass and some seriously slippery mud, but I was hoping that it would be dry seeing that it hasn't rained for quite some time. We had a good ride with some tricky riding through a mini forest (try to avoid the trees whilst slipping on the mud) and even a (very) small river crossing. The last time I was there I turned around at this point as I was on my own. That's the great thing about riding with a mate! Maverick also convinced me to go up and down some rather steep inclines which was great fun, especially coming down as you have very little space to stop.

I do apologise for the poor picture quality. They were taken with our mobile phones which aren't very good at capturing action shots in fading light.

My turn



As always these off-road rides really does wonders for the soul. Promise we'll get some better pics next time! Thanks for joining me Maverick!
