The RADS have been going since about 1993. The history prior to 1998 is held on paper somewhere. The rest appear below. Click on the year for the list.
| Summer 2006 | A lovely warm summer, hot and dry in July and hot and wet in August. However, not a good season for me. I checked the list and I only managed 7 out of the 24 rides. I've no excuses, it was pure laziness on my part! Notes for many of the rides can be found on the RADS Blog. | |||||||||
| Winter 2005/06 | I'm sure a good winter season was had by all. I only went on one ride, the first Gilpin Bridge ride on the 17th November, so I can't really comment! Notes for many of the rides can be found on the RADS Blog. | |||||||||
| 2005 | In 2005 we experienced a bit of a dull, wet, cold summer. Notes for many of the rides can be found on the RADS Blog. | |||||||||
| 2004/2005 Night Rides | Last year there was a series of impromptu night rides. This year the list has been organised in advance. If you have lights and fancy a bit of off-road in the dark then this is for you. | |||||||||
| 2004 | Probably the wettest and greyest season we ever had but still sadly missed... | |||||||||
| 2003 | A fantastic hot dry summer with some great rides. However, don't mention the ride from Otter Bank. There was no winter season this year. We did manage one or two rides in October but the flame was kept alight by George and friends who bravely kept going on Thursday evenings all through the winter. Well done lads! | |||||||||
| Winter 2002/3 | Nine rides in the list. Just directional notes for the first ride. | |||||||||
| 2002 | RADS revived in 2002. A complete list but no notes except a few directions. | |||||||||
| 2001 | There was no season in 2001 because of foot and mouth. You can click to view the list if you like but there isn't much to see.. | |||||||||
| Winter 2000/1 | Our first winter season. Cut short by foot and mouth unfortunately. All seven rides are listed but there are no notes. | |||||||||
| 2000 | A complete list plus notes on every ride apart from the last four. What happened?! | |||||||||
| 1999 | There seem to be a few gaps in the list here. I was working in Stockport throughout much of this time. There are no notes on any of the rides. | |||||||||
| 1998 | This list is somewhat incomplete. I was working in London most of this season and only picked up the list in August 1998. There are notes about one ride. | |||||||||
