Singletrack in the dark
Excellent 2 hours around some of my favourite trails at Delamere last night with 15 good folks, all smiling and laughing, even with such a big group the momentum was high and with the mild temperatures we are having at the moment I was sweating like a pig within minutes of the start 
Some fantastic photo opportunities of light trails, especially around the lake but the trails were too good to stop and bother, I’ve no idea where we went and for all I know we could have just gone around in circles (err, actually isnt that what happens anyway ?) the trails were remarkably dry but Dave did mange to find the deepest mud filled ponds to ride through ensuring that everyone smelt of wet dog by the end.
Only the one mechanical all night meant that the stops were short and sweet, never had chance to get the hip flask out but that was more than made up for by the fabulous cakes the Debs offered at the end of the ride.
Drove home tired but happy with the world, 2 hours of sweat soaked fun had driven away all the crap of the day and set me up determined to make the effort to ride more this week, this month and all winter.
