Well that was August... and sunset on the summer?

Cobwebs! Cobweb on your bike... that's serious but it goes to show that the last month has not seen one week night ride take place - for a combination of reasons. Now we're into September and the true 'sunset' of the summer week night riding...

From Macclesfield 2/9/10

Well Kev and I headed out tonight - aware of the trip to Scotland only a few weeks away and many of us not bike fit! The usual route I'm afraid to say but after 4 weeks off we hit it up with renewed vigour chatting iPod/iPhones and work. Charity Lane was dry and fast and I was really motoring and felt awesome on the hardtail this week. With the confidence of an awesome run we hit bottom of the oven in fading light and I misjudged one of the step down ruts in the doubletrack and hung up the back wheel - with a slow puncture that by the top of the steep bit was totally flat! So with the sun well and truly setting wacked on a few leeches and made it home. Bottom of the oven often holds a sting in the tail for someone!

Out next week again - hopefully meeting a little earlier to make the most of the available light.
