So sad about Charlie. We heard yesterday after the ride.

Tonight was pretty grim under wheel. Slow speed skills definitely came into play in the mud. For me track standing while looking at the trail means not losing all of the momentum - you are ready to ride off rather than having to get your foot back on a pedal and rebalance.

Yes! That ^ It's continuing rather than re-starting!

You may all have seen this before, but if not... bloody funny. Three men try to get a bike off an electric fence.

I think, from what is said in the video, he simply didn't see the fence and somehow ended up like that after trying to ride through it. I love how they try from the one side for ages before someone goes through the gate and helps from the other side. :-)

It's immensely silly.

Are we Torq talking on here as well, Cath? Think it will just be me rather than an entire gang. There's some sensibleness going on from Mrs Shaw. Possibly another couple but they will fanny for a few months. So the Orange Gaysbeau will be party tent again. We'll be going down on the Saturday again to baggsie that spot.

Awesome. Is Em racing? Or riding round socially beforehand and breaking a garmin mount?
