Disclaimer

Cycling is a dangerous activity which can result in serious injury or death. All cyclists are responsible for their own safety and must decide for themselves if they are a competent cyclist for the event they attend, cyclists must assess the level of risk for themselves before and during any event, and must not put other people at risk. No assessment of a cyclist's competence is made by the ride leader. Individuals must be able to assess obstacles and decide whether they have the skill to safely ride them. If an individual isn't sure whether they have sufficient skill to ride any section of the ride then they should walk it to avoid injury. All cyclists must wear a helmet and take responsibility for disclosing any relevant medical conditions, allergies and emergency contact details to the ride leader before each event.

Llandegla write up pics and videos

The Llandgla event was preceded by a fortnight of glorious dry weather, and was followed by a warm Sunday of lingering sunshine. Saturday, however, was a Mark Slater ride, and we are yet to escape a downpour on Mark's events! Some of us did the blue, some rode the red, and others split off onto the black. Everyone enjoyed the trails despite the inclement weather, and all thoroughly appreciated the coffee, bacon butties and cakes courtesy of Price and Slater solicitors, the event sponsors.












Undeterred by the rain, the foolhardy amongst us went out for a second loop, just to make sure everything was thoroughly caked in mud, and the muddy were then rewarded with cake :-)

Thanks to again to event sponsor Mark Slater of Slater and Price solicitors, Solicitors for body and mind.

I'll try to organise sunshine for the next event!
