Early in 90’s as mountain biking was taking off members of the Squash Club started the annual weekend’s away biking and drinking in various locations around the south west. Digital cameras didn’t exist in those days and there are not many pictures from the five trips that we made during this period. For many reasons (few of them happy ones!) the trips away stopped after 1998. In 2006 Ed, Ian and Gary “rebooted” the weekends away with a different group of like minded souls from the Squash Club and each year since then we have enjoyed some wonderful times biking around the English countryside.
