A few brave & hardy souls (5) battled their way on Boxing Day to High Force on bikes.  A few more sensible people used their cars, & had to suffer the usual barrage of derogatory comments from you know who.  Nevertheless, the warm fire in the hotel was much appreciated by those rock 'ard types. No one else could get near it !!

As I sit here writing this the snow outside lies deep and crisp and even.  The balmy days of September and the Beamish all seem a long time ago. Read more...

Article by Dennis Skilton on this years trial

Written by Mike Carruthers

Eight riders set off from Middleton St George Cricket Club at 10:30ish after Dave finally arrived, much to Brian's amusement as always when someone's late.  After much discussion the desination was to be Lealholm, as usual by the longest route possible with Brian at the front. Martyn Peacock reckons the run should be re-named;  "Let's Ride Through Every Farmyard on the N Yorks Moors" We eventually arrived at the Board Inn for a warm by the fire and some hot soup.

Eventually it was time to move on, unfortunately it spoilt itself by raining a little, but we headed for Sadberge, from where the inaugural run took place back in December 1975 from the Three Tuns, although we went to the Buck Inn across the road- something about no proper beer!

We all drifted off, apart from two who ended up carol singing with a travelling folk group who came in after everyone else had gone,  Wonder if Brian is still there??

All in all a good day - not too cold and good company
