BathMTB: Ride Report Wds 19 Oct

[DES ESCIT-SSS AS (Stewart, Andrew C1)]

This weeks Ride Report delivered mostly in the form of a poem:

 

The forecast was for rain and cold

The number brave depleted

Chris, Aileen, Steve and Andy

the only ones not defeated

 

They headed out from the town

Box Woods the destination

Along the canal, across the Meadows

Up through Bathford to Kingsdown

 

>From there off-road

The trails soft and leafy

The grass wet and slippy 

The knobbly tyres grippy

 

Before Box Woods Fig Rolls 

>From the Co-Op "They're the best" 

Into the woods, lights in the trees

UFOs, The Others or the Woodland Trolls?

 

A group from Melksham 

It turned out to be

How many of them?

Just the three

 

"Where are we?" Chris says

Another history lesson follows

Above the Secret Underground City*

Below the sleepy hollow

 

Rudloe descent 

fast and flowing

Climb to Colerne 

Just keeps on going

 

Along the top

The cold beginning to bite 

Only Steve in his booties 

had warm toes tonight

 

Bannerdown 

they barrelled down

Through the trees 

The carpet of leafs 

 

The London Road

Back into town

Too cold to stop for a pint

Their separate ways they go

into the night

 

In keeping with past this weeks - a link to the history lesson homework:

Chris asked if it's possible to get access - not any more apparently,
concern now over asbestos contamination.

 

Finally, Aileen asked where'bouts for Oktoberfest results:

Hopefully a few more fit next week? Or are they all 'tucked up for the
winter' now?
