Rudolph 2008 - RIDE CANCELLED

The Rudolph Ride which was due to take place on Sunday 14th December 2008 has been cancelled.

This decision was taken owing to the adverse ground conditions.

The route was ridden at the weekend and checked again yesterday. In places there are deep ruts (probably caused by off road vehicles) and it is extremely muddy and slippery. Also the lanes were described as lethal after a hard frost which lasted until midday.

We will be reporting the abuse of the bridleway to the appropriate authorities.

Thank you to everyone who had entered to support the Group. All riders will be contacted to ensure that they are aware that the ride is not going ahead.

It would not have been much fun.

We hope to reschedule this ride in 2009.
