After Friday's FROGs ride, I decided my bum could do with some saddle time (my legs could do with some muscles as well!). Conveniently, I was also tasked to deliver and retrieve my true love from her regular stint at the dog shelter in Southern River.
I set off along Ranford Rd, up the Tonkin PSP to Champion Lakes for a lap and a half then down the Tonkin PSP to Thomas and into Byford to the bakery for coffee and calories. Returned direct to Southern River via Thomas, Tonkin and Ranford.
Bits of Thomas were a bit scary but otherwise a very pleasant ride on a beautiful crisp morning. If I'd seen the way in to a stretch of track along the side of Thomas that was suitable for an MTB, it would have been more relaxed. Note for next time.
Bum and legs are making appropriate complaints but they'll get over it.

Lovely day at Swan Valley Adventure Centre aka Swanleigh - nice combination of not very complex buildings and wide open spaces with just enough features. Simmo's flip maps worked well. The absence of LOST_Richard and a mispunch by Ken D allowed me to cruise into second place in M60, 10 mins behind Rob W - whoo hoo - a wine glass! Just what the doctor didn't order :-)

Hard 2 - Splits

Beautiful day to try something new from Bryan - a combo of the river south of Guildford and the new PSPs on Tonkin and Leach, with coffee and long chat at Tomato Lake. No mishaps or bike problems - big tick all round.
