Brrrrrrrrrrr........another super chilly morning, damp and slightly drizzly but that didn't put our hard core riders off!
There was already some action at the pump track in Westwood when I arrived, a great little warm up for our ride. We split into two groups; Chris and Norman headed off with with Zach, Fin, Tom & Iris, oh and Andrew too. Hannah and I set off with Theo, Jacob, Toby, Hughie & Hector, plus a couple of Dads (Jacob & Theos').The big ones, disappeared and we rode steadily up the lane, making it all the way to The White House without stopping. Great group riding, before we hit the bridlepath, muddy, muddy, muddy!
Up and out and through the woods; the fallen trees that were blocking the path earlier in the week, had been cleared, so no need to carry bikes or duck under trees. So less challenging than I'd anticipated but the rain we've had all week had made the bumpy field even muddier and very squidgy. Everyone made it down, through the gate and back across the field, without taking a muddy bath.

Then for the slog back up Horns Lodge Lane before the descent down Coldharbour Lane. Fin, Zach and Iris & Chris overtook us on the way down; all was revealed when we got back to Westwood. Andrew & Tom left early and Norman had a tubeless puncture, so his ride turned into more of a ride/run/walk session.
Once again, great riding from everyone; touch conditions, cold and muddy but still plenty of smiles!
Next week we are back on site at Stocks Green School, see you then!
