It looked a really fun ride, apart from nearly squashing a policeman , beautiful scenery and you both look very smart!

I don't think the cop realised how close I came to actually hitting him - after all, I wasn't arrested in the pub car park when he rocked up afterwards!

Great pics! And how smart are you Daren! I bet it was an impressive sight seeing you all cantering along (and knocking over stray policemen ;D)

So I'm a bit confused - there seem to be a LOT of you - do all the local horse riders join in?
Love how well turned out you all are, plaited up and everything! And all those lovely clean greys!

A lot of local riders turn up, yeah, either on their own horses or hired from riding schools etc. The same happens at all the common rides, if you're lucky enough to get a horse to hire! And yet, with all these Irish Drafts, cobs and TBs kicking about, I managed to find a Clydesdale on the hillside!

Crumbs looking at the events they certainly get their money's worth out of you - looks like a full time job!!

Yeah, I've taken the whole week off next week - will need another holiday to recover from it all!!

That's the bunting and the sign up - and it all kicks off tomorrow with the family bike-ride...! Attachments:

Woohoo! Have a great ride! (I'd have to be on a tandem bike with the other person doing most of the work!)

The weather was, and still is, absolutely atrocious! Didn't start well with me crashing my bike BEFORE we even started out!
It was OK until the big hill we had to ride up - and everything after that.

lol Daren - did you get the floods too? A boat ride may have been more appropriate

Post by darenc1 on May 20, 2013 13:07:06 GMT 1
No floods, but at least it's dried out a bit now.
Had another nice wee hack this morning - although I got very muddy on account of Monarch deciding it would be fun to splash through the puddles rather than canter!

That's good, about the weather I mean, not the splashing puddles thing! ;D

Post by darenc1 on May 20, 2013 23:27:01 GMT 1
Well, to be honest, Monarch came off worst in the mud-splashing contest!
Tomorrow is the primary school visits in the morning. The mid-week ride-out is tomorrow evening - fingers crossed the weather stays half-decent!

The first lot of school visits went fine - yours truly had a good bash at blowing the Hunter's horn for the kids (even if it did leave me a bit light-headed).
Off to get ready for the mid-week ride-out!
