24th July 50 km with 53-11 social ride including a beer stop :smile:

3rd August a very hot MTB ride to Whitell and back on Mariotts Way 50km and yet another p*******!

September half century a Ranworth loop made special as it was my wife’s first metric half century ever. She has completed 281/300 miles for the ride 300 for cancer research in September starting from a baseline of zero and not having ridden a bike for 12 years

23rd October 32 miles 50 km off road ride with my OH to Whitwell. Glorious day. Sorry posted in chat zone by mistake again!!!

17th November Another stunning day and 33 mile 50km round trip to Whitwell and back off road. Not even very muddy!!

22nd December Finished the way I started with a very muddy( but good for the complexion) off road ride 44 miles around Marriits way and along Bure Valley railway line. So that’s an off road metric half century completed. This seemed harder work than the metric century road rides I completed :smile:

Merry Christmas everyone.
