The Nine Stanes Ride - 27th June 2010

It's challenging, but a great fittener.

There is ample parking so no limited numbers.

There will be no farrier at this ride so make sure your horse is suitably shod or booted.

There is some roadwork (good crewing opps though!). However it is mostly really nice forest tracks.

Views will be good hopefully!
