Have you forgot the rescue at the XRV Xmas 2010?

To be fair those trails are easy - when I started to set the route..... Last Summer with no rain :-)

Not my fault :woohoo:

Are we sitting comfortably children as I have a story to tell.

It all started about a week ago, with an invite from AckAckFlack (Gary) asking if I want to join in a beginners trail ride. Then later that week a call from Gary and he had to drop out due to work. So I stepped up and volunteered to lead. I know a few trails in Gary's back yard but not enough. So Gary sent over a GPX and a list of "novice" riders.

I have to stress that none of the riders were novices (far from it...Gary!) and the route contained a few hard trails, esspecially the first where I binned it. And the snow didnt help, but with a min of 10 falls, it wasnt a novice ride either.

Novice ride indeed. I was only passing on the "spec" I was given.

:woohoo:

Great ride though, you missed a good 'un' Gary.

I have done that route a few times and didn't bin it once.
Was the name of the gpx file I sent called RideForNovicesNot.gpx ?
