Huge thanks to the Royal Oak in High Lane for a superb chilli to warm 8 cold riders last night and to those riders for braving the cold. All the fresh snow on the ground gave us good traction for most of the ride, though there were a couple of comedy tumbles along the way.

Thanks should also go to the sledgers who've made all the little jumps over the weekend. Great fun for us lot too.

If you're planning on joining us for the Christmas ride and chilli supper on Monday, please could you let us know so we can make sure enough food is booked.

Decorations are a must. Obviously.

Anyone not decorating themselves might get decorated by the rest.

Lots of puncture resistant tyres available here for bikes and pram/stroller wheels.

Do Stockport council not own a broom?
