Given the horrendous forecast for tomorrow I have cancelled the ride from Burneside. Hopefully some of you may get out with either Ian or Dallas.

Hi everyone. I am posting to see how you got on with your ride. I cycled from home (Embleton) up the Lorton Valley and over the Newlands Pass. I can honestly say it was some of the worst, perhaps THE worst (or best, depending on how you like your weather) that I have ever been in. I was blown to a standstill several times and blown onto the bank going down the pass. On a steep downhill I had to walk because there was so much water and debris washing down the road. Some puddles were up to the BB. Actually, I enjoyed it in a perverse kind of way. Memorable! Did you get a ride? Best wishes to all. Peter.
And horrendous it was too. Good call Keith!
