Night Ride
I'm still not really allowed to join in, but this weeks YMBC weekly evening ride is on Wednesday - Nant-yr-arian - so meet at 7:00 pm in the car park ar the base of Hippity Hop or ride up from the war memorial in Penrhyncoch at 6:00. The ride up will be the three hill climb so may be a little later than 7:00 at hippity Hop. Route will either be Bontgoch part of the Conti trail or out and do half the MBR killer loop - depends on what riders want.

The trail is really dry at the mo (or was at the weekend)

Lights are a necessity, especially if we do a long loop. Definitely bring something warm for the end of the ride as it still gets cold later on and maybe for the ride as well as it was a bit nippy on last weeks ride at Nant. Bringing a change of clothing might be a good idea as the stream crossings may be deep at the moment - so waterproof coat, shorts, socks, boots.........

Weekend Ride
