Enid had put out call for a ride and this was just about the 3rd anniversary(and bizarrely the 33rd MacRetro ride) of the first MacRetro ride out at Glentress, so a return seemed quite fitting. Answering the call was me, ZZ, Enid, Mikee, and last and least Velo. Assembling in the lower carpark we all coo'd at mikee's new V creation a stunner with a great mix of components alongside it was Enids which goes to show how versatile the frame design is. ZZ turned up with his pipedream and V had his GT. Hauled ourselves up to the freeride park and suffered the first and only mechanical, mikees chain decided it wanted a rest and promptly lay down, As is tradition everyone sat back and watched someone else work whilst offering pointless tips.

Airy fairy - Is it just me, or does this no look like a giant Kaiser cycling around a tree?

As you can see we went doon the red and had a ball, as you may also be able to tell I'm bored typin this :LOL: and we really need to cut to the chase and get to the nitty gritty, after some considerable pondering and dwelling I proclaim Enid the carpark dash winner. He was first back I suppose :twisted: Oh and the cakes were lovely and so were the flapjacks :D
