Right – this was my original plan, based around Haddocks dates. Having emailled Haddock, 10th and I think 12th are definites.
10th Lakes ride
12th Kirroughtree
15th Glentress Black
17th Lakes
I now realise that I may not be able to do 17th as I may be driving down to Manchester. I deffo want to do Glentress black though, so maybe if that was 16th, the 14th would then be free for either a Stanes ride with nobeer, or in fact the Trekster natural route that I'd love to try out.
This is all getting a bit more complicated now trying to co-ordinate everyone date-wise. Sorry folks. It gets a bit more complicated tomorrow when Haddock loses email, and is just on SMS! However, the weather for Thursday is looking good, and at least I will be able to chat with him more about dates.
Well apologies again for all this, but I guess if everyone is chilled, then at the very least, I'll make two rides with haddock, and then Glentress Black (and I think I need company and encouragement to get me round) Trekster and Haddock on 15th?
If anyone else wants to sample the natural delights of Galloway doing a natural non-Stanes ride on the Sunday 20th feel free to drop me a line!
I guess I will ride 20th, 22nd and 24th ready for the big STW forum weekend that weekend.
Phew!
