Friday evenings Lincoln XC loop, with new sections added Sam was joined by Tom, Dave, Jonny, Martin B, Martin C, Jon and Mark for a blast round the XC loop on a lovely summers evening. We started off in the woods running along the side of the bypass which thanks to Daves expert navigating skills we managed to avoid the areas highly populated by Triffids and made it through relatively un-stung and scratched. We then headed out towards Burton and along the drain and up through the fields, this was a bit of a slog as the Farmers had recently harvest their crops but we pressed on through the fields and up Burton hill and headed for the old coach road. We then blasted down the old coach road at full tilt and made our way to hills and valleys well every one did apart from Jonny who decided to go a bit Australian on us and go for a walk about. After Jonny found us again and we had a good play on the jumps we headed out towards the new sections Dave had discovered. We then headed out along Riseholme road towards some fast flowing single track that brought us out into Nettleham. We then headed out of the village into some tracks along the side of some fields that then brought us out for the half time Mcflurry stop and to meet Mark. After a refreshing ice cream we headed into the quarry for some fun on the more technical trails, Jon then joined us who had finished work late so had been blasting round to catch us. We did the first sections of the quarry having some real good fun the made our way to the end of the quarry section and unfortunately Jons seat broke so had to cut his ride short, as we then headed to the dirt jumps down the last rock face we all got down but Mark had a over the handle bars moment but we dusted him down and headed to the jumps. After the blast in the quarry we headed for the common, Mark pealed off as he hurt his wrist when he crashed, we then blasted along the top of the common to the single track along the ridge. After doing the decent down from the ridge to Brant road we all headed our own ways home or back to the shop all taking in some nice dry fast flowing single track. Every one had an ace ride and it was very very good riding conditions, thank you to every one that joined us and we hope to see you on the next ride. Thanks Sam Next ride is on Sunday which is an 85 mile road ride going to be a good one especially if you want Your Grand Fondo challenge on Strava
