A little bit of water never hurt anybody … ?
Fantastic winter weather today and not quite as cold as it looked either. The impromptu skating contest near Etwall saw four club members displaying a range of skills on the ice, all vying for a place in the second round. Only Josh and Eldon made it through, their artistic display bringing tears to the eyes of the crowd.

Well done to Sam who came out on his first club ride, showing real determination to make it round.
Yes Matt, a very tough contest, but I’ve been practising my ‘power sliding’ skills across the ice for the final… hopefully I will just have the edge, with that up my sleeve, on Eldon in the final showdown, but then again, he is a tough rival!….. HAHAH…. Anyway, all things considered, I really enjoyed it 🙂 and a very well done to Sam!
Oh gentlemen…. A thoroughly enjoyable ride ! Sam take credit where it’s due mate you did great…. As for he ice antics I still can’t stop smiling!
Ps where’s the photo of the rink Matt ?
This is the best I can do Jason. It doesn’t really show the full horror does it? I keep having flashbacks and going rigid with terror. Spot the non-cyclocross rider!
