Chilled out new years day and rested. My plan on the 2nd was to do the mary townley loop on the mountain bike but this went out the window when i woke up at 9.45. A quick txt to Amy and a road ride was organised to Todmorden to watch the cross race there, we went via Blacstone edge in fact the ride was pretty much the same ride i did new years eve. The cross race was cold but burger and chips kept me warm as i watched it. came back with 55 mile on the clock.

Today i went on the hit the north preview ride and did a couple of laps of that followed by cake and a massive hot chocolate in prestwich, i then headed out with damian and amy over to bolton and then through there local trails to the strawberry duck for tea, which was packed and had no food left so the rose and crown in edgworth got our hard earned cash. I managed to get Amy to do one more hour of riding and we headed up round holcombe hill in the dark and then back home. 45 miles of mostly off road riding covered.
