christmas ride

hello fellow porkers. im currently trying to work out where to take us over the christmas holidays but i cant make my mind up whether to go to dartmoor or exmoor. they are both good areas for wilderness rides but i think dartmoor is probably the more exposed of the two areas, so i think i will just have to plan two rides one for a nice frosty day and one for sideways rain and sleet and going on past experience that wont be a dartmoor ride. what a beautiful weekend it was, did i ride ? did i ek as like! too much work to do at home this week so we will definately have to go out twice this week at night but hey ho thats just as much fun, its just that it seems like forever since i rode anywhere in the daylight! the salisbury winter challenge is on again at the beginning of january and that is always good fun even if the mud is sometimes deeper than your hubs! im still trying to convince Darron to go but he seems to have a strange aversion to mud which is strange for someone who loves riding on the mendips so much, i think the real reason is the terrible cramps i suffered from last time, boy was it bad, cramp in every leg muscle all at once is no fun but that was probably my fault for not eating enough bananas or drinking enough fluids ill try not to let it happen again this year. well i had better get back to planning the rides, so i will sign of now, i will publish the ride details nearer to the holidays when we have sorted who is doing what when.
