Twas the ride before Christmas and all round the town, the thorpers were sleeping,

 So Phil, Richard, martyn, Andy Colter and a new rider Mark Sadler from Norristhorpe set off on a grey windy day to Wigfield farm.  Over emley, down towards denby Dale, cawthorne, Silkstone, Hood green and the famr shop.

 The welcome was as jovial as ever and paul was there on his MTB,.  Also there  were Brian and Kathleen.

Returning via Dodworth, Darton, Bretton and Thornhill we were back quite early and without getting to wet.

Stats =75.6 kms  @23.2 kph

 Normal service will be resumed when Al doesn’t have to bake all your bread and cakes for Christmas
