cutting back

No, not the riding! but the foliage, after a mild but fairly damp summer many of the route we use have become very over grown with briars, brambles and stingers. All of these can ruin your ride, with at the mild end a tingly arm or leg through torn clothing to significant blood loss.
Dan stepped up to the mark armed with either the smallest pair of secateurs in the country or massive hands! and like a luggage bearer with a machete cut his way through the jungle and made the everyone elses ride a much more pleasant experience. Maybe we should call him Monty (Don) from now on?
