Re: February 2026 Rideout Sat 21st (edited)
Mark has reconnoitred the proposed fords route and decided for reasons of safety to postpone it until the summer. One ford closed, others deep and fast flowing. Access roads full of mud and gravel.
The revised ride route will start at Dobbies 10am. (breakfast available from 9am) Mark will re-plan a Cotswolds ride.
Most details will be unchanged but details to follow - Better safe than sorry. - Mark - 07809 552562
