Went for a ride in the Vale on Sunday morning and the sun came out, fantastic! The canal path was fine as were any trails that had some kind of hardcore in them but the Viking Way above and the section of trail below Longmore Bridge were just an un-rideable, rutted quagmire. (An early Christmas gift from the 'crossers who illegally ride around the vale ruining the trails for just about everyone.)I hope to be getting out for more rides over the next week or so as I have some time off work.
