Thanks to all who braved the weather, it looked promising to start but soon turned to blizzard conditions,
but as always good company and friendly banta make these days out so enjoyable.

Not many pics this time due to inclement weather...

Starting out

Re:

well what can we say :D not a bad ride out first time around there for me.
good job we got out when we did,had a hair raising ride home in the snow,
took a wrong turn :facepalm: and past a merc just gone off road,
anyways good to meet a few new faces and see you all next time.
 
Ace ride, really enjoyed it. Nice to see old friends and make new ones too.

Hats off to the volunteer trail builders at Gisburn too, the place is really developing into a top facility.
 
Re:

Another great trip round Gisburn , more new bits every time I go , interesting weather but I think the blizzard was preferable to a downpour , had a great breakfast in Old Vicarage café at Tosside afterwards (don't know why everyone was panicking about getting home as it was rain by Long Preston ).

Great company, and although it was bitterly cold, it was very pretty in the snow.

The downhill sections in a blizzard without glasses or a helmet peak made things interesting - thank God I had some luminous people and bikes I could follow!
