After a late Skittles night and a few pints, needed the alarm clock to get me up

and out for 7 o'clock to drive up to Cannock Chase for my last ride of the season.

Weather dry and bright all day but very windy. Which was against us on the return leg.

The route consisted of three big loops leaving the Chase we headed to Abbots Bromley then swung back to Yoxal before

going north to Tutbury then onto Uttoxeter. Followed by the long ride back into the wind.

Sting in the tail the long climb top of the Chase to finish

A fantastic finish to the year along unknown lanes.

A well organised event good easy to follow signs and plenty of food at the stops.  

 

 

 

Queueing up ready for the of.
