A vision in polka dot welcomed me ,John dressed as that familiar christmas cow we all know and love! BRING BACK RUDOLF >>><br \/>\nSantas little helper was back , Mrs Claus , Mr Kinbote with a stealth disguise under his saddle , as this is a family web site I&#8217;ll leave it at that. Cormac had stolen a childs moose , ripped its head off and stuck that on its helmet . Alex , well he was dressed as Alex nuff said . Kerry not put off by previous encounters with NTSR returned swathed in tinsel and bearing christmas cake , she knows how to infiltrate the group ok. <\/p>\n<p>Quick loop of Badgers claw to warm up , then back up fiddlers where we met the grinch . Unable to control her ( beautiful) dogs and unhappy that we occupied her personal space for 30 seconds . The mountain is a public space and there is room for everyone to do whatever they want as long as respect is given . We have  for 20 years (and will continue to) enjoyed all the mountain along with anyone else who wants to do their thing . There is no chance of coralling cyclists onto the trails , fantastic as they are . <\/p>\n<p>Moving on &#8230;..from here a full loop of the trails , meeting pete mcconville  , one of ntsr&#8217;s originals and mtb icon on the way . Needless to say he dissappeared in a puff of dust. <\/p>\n<p>Home for mulled wine , tea , mince pies and presentation of cheque to Didi for her special needs playground. Thanks to all who contributed after the slaughter<\/p>\n<p>Sat 28th as usual I think . <\/p>\n<div style=\"padding: 0; overflow: hidden; margin: 0; width: 500px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/45517967@N02\/11480058645\/in\/set-72157638880586586\/\" title=\"Words fail me ( look under saddle)\" style=\"text-decoration: none;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm6.staticflickr.com\/5495\/11480058645_5e7ba82451_s.jpg\" alt=\"Words fail me ( look under saddle)\" style=\"padding: 0 10px 10px 0;
