Reason to ride?

Five riders out on our weekly evening ride, so who didn't bring one?

On such a cold night by the time we've ridden (and pushed) to the top of the long climb a warming dram is well deserved. Sadly there wasn't a lot of choice tonight; from left, Talisker, Glenfiddich, Glenfiddich, Talisker.

Also, Anna supplied fine flapjack and new chap Garrett some Marks and Spencer Chocolate Wafers.

Then my freewheel started to show signs of dying, resulting in my gentlemans regions feeling rather threatened by the stem on the remaining climbs.... So the big question for the night is: is this worth the money and can I justify it?
