BathMTB: Wed 16th RR

[John Van Ham]

Hi, Justin and Kevin and everyone else on the list!

Langridge and Shanks (holts down) descents were even wetter last few weeks
and I'd say they're actually drying out a bit - and might even improve
further if the forecast sticks.

Yeah the bulls field was empty of livestock and the mud had dried in parts
but as usual in massive lumps and ruts - wasn't a problem though navigating
to the footpath sty - someone's put a metal fence on it's side next to it
so that you dont' sink in the mud.

I should be out on Wednesday again!

See you then,
John
