A riot at the Country Park

You can always count on the Wheelers to have a good laugh, lots of fun and usually something happens!!  I would say most rides are an "experience" 🤣 This week was no exception.   In Lutterworth, there has been a huge construction over a good number of years and finally a Country Park is being built, for the last few weeks, the Friday evening ride out's have included going around the Country Park, as it is still being built it subject to change from one week to the next.  Yesterday we headed out on the cycle paths up the slope (sorry mountain) to get to the start of the Park.

Having checked out the route earlier in the week, I directed the group on to one of the off path trails, unfortunately it would seem that a local farmer may have been muck spreading his fields (you could tell from the smell 👃🤢)between me checking the route and us going on Friday.  Muck, slurry, dirty water and tractor craters everywhere.  The first person navigated their way through the smelly, muddy section, the 2nd person wasn't quite so lucky and .....splat! 😏 Fortunately no one was injured or hurt, just umm..... a tad muddy.  A dynamic risk assessment was made with the rest of the group, we decided it was a good idea to turn round, head back and go to the pub!   

The great thing about the group, is that everyone is supportive of each other and when something like this happens, they are pleased it was someone else this week and not them...... the best group of people having the best time 🚴‍♀️😘😁
