Dalby Forest – 13 Jul 24

The logistics for today’s trip to Dalby Forest started with “And now for something completely different…” And, boy, was it different!

Despite a misleading postcode for our start point, a temperature of just 12 degrees, constant drizzle, a tandem taking a scenic detour, another tandem suffering a mashed up chain ring and snapped chain, and an end of ride cafe mix up, it’s rather remarkable that the overwhelming consensus of the eight tandems and one solo was it was a brilliant ride.

Yes, it was a long day, lengthened by the need to wash down nine extremely caked in mud, very mucky bikes.

But the banter on the way back was next time let’s do two circuits of the Adderstone Trail. One simply isn’t enough.

And so ….. till next time….

Getting ready to set off in the rain.
Drew and Jules wondering why we can’t simply head for the cafe.
Steve De and Ian wondering the same thing.
Brian and Muz. We’re here – let’s ride.
