Warren Melissa Go Riding

Yep, we were, was cancelled on the last moment. When we confronted him and distanced ourselves, he said we must not believe what we read. We did follow up with the trail builders on the trails we were supposed to ride and they had no idea. When we chatted to him and raised this, he said that they just buy permits. Oh well, crisis avoided
