Night Riding...........

No this isn't another posting from our Lanzarote correspondent, it is a brief résumé of last night’s ride. 3 riders, Ogg, Skinner and Proudfoot (Roddy) who rode for G3R at Relentless. Proudfoot turns up on one of his gay full sus santa cruz thingies and starts popping wheelies and endos again thinking he is Danny or something, but the singlespeed boys would show him a thing or two. Did I say he (Roddy) was late, David wanted it known that he was on time for once and he even rode there and rode home from work. He obviously left work at 4.30 to do that though!

I digress again, sign of a weak mind, anyway, it was much fun! Whipping about in the dark with only our lights dancing through the trees. We did briefly spot another few riders but were moving too fast to be caught :-). Couple of good moments riding behind a full susser and staying with Roddy and David riding blind a few times as his light slipped on his bars. The laws of physics were reinforced many times last night, namely fat boys sink in the mud and what goes up must come down, as we kept having to climb the road on the Kyber pass to get some altitude.

Excellent night, Roddy showed us some great tracks in Mugdock that we have never ridden (very grateful) and it was a blast. More next week at 6.15pm. Hope we don't interrupt any nocturnal activity again.....
