"It'll be right tomorrow"

Maximum respect to the 45 riders who endured the long exhausting hours of rain on Saturday as they completed the first half of the Calder Divide Trail.

It did turn out alright.  Everyone got back to the community centre in Mytholmroyd, everyone had a tale to tell, everyone got pie n peas and a badge.

At their core these riders know what so many people forget: every day is a blessing and at this moment in time we're privileged to be able to go and ride when we want to.

“Water, that strong white stuff, can here be seen at its origins. It wells from the rock, and flows away. For unnumbered years it has welled from the rock and flowed away. It does nothing, absolutely nothing, but be itself.”

Nan Shepherd
