A wet but enjoyable and fun filled ride out at Silvan this morning for the LDTR Social Ride.

We had a turn out of 8 riders who took on the rain and mud.
Some 'gradual climbing' on fire trails helped us warm up before we took on the switchbacks and some enjoyable descents.

A big thank you to Darren for setting the ride up and Ra for guiding us around the trails.

I'm sure a few of the crew today will back out to tackle some of the trails with features when it's a little dryer.
