Cancelled: Build day December 2010 #4

We had originally planned to spend the day moving material so that we could surface some muddy sections. A lot of snow fell on Friday night and when we arrived on Saturday the ground was frozen solid. We decided to opt out of material moving and instead spent time doing a few odd jobs. We

The unsurfaced sections of the trail were so bad last week that we’re probably going to do a virtual ride this week. i.e: skip the riding and go straight to the pub. If by any chance it has snowed on then we’ll probably be riding it. Meet in the car park for 7:30pm as normal
