Todmorden is pretty much in the middle of the loop so if there’s any major issues we’re never far from my house. Assuming I’m not the one affected (I’ve had all my bike related injuries for this year so only mechanicals to worry about!) worst case scenario is I bug out back to mine to get the car and pick any stranded people up.
Goes without saying though that people should be properly prepared. Check your bike is working and in good order, bring sufficient spares, food and kit in case of mechanicals/extended delays, and be sensible on the descents.
I’m assuming it’ll be usual monday night rules. Sociable pace, no one gets dropped.
Just thought if we start around 7ish from Wardle we can have a halfway(ish) pint at the Ram Inn in Holmes Chapel just before closing time 🙂
I’ve no problem with a daytime loop though if that’s what people prefer. I’ve nowt on that weekend so pretty flexible.
