Another cracking day out on't moors and in't valleys. Cheers Tony for sorting a cracking route out. Looking forward to the next installment!
Can't believe I'm the cover guy too for NBT's pics! why do I always pull a stupid face when anyone points a camera at me!?!
Just to put you in the mood Jo.
looks awful don't it 
Granny? You had to use Granny today? You need to get a singlespeed 
As for the cover pic, to be fair Keith it was a hard choice, I went for the colours and composition: I think it's the best of the bunch. Just a shame about the subject
Stumpyjon, can you send me the route map / profile pic then I can add it to the set above? ta!
Some pics. Clicky on pics to find the rest.
and the man himself.
Ta for the mega day out Ton (and the wee bit of history and local folk/trail lore). Really enjoyed it and a cracking day with a bunch of cracking folk.
Nice to meet you all and particular thanks the kind fella who lent me his blue pig for the last bit of the ride. (sorry I am getting a bit old and forgetful when it comes to names). Food for thought there!
Oh and chucky you better not be sporting a full face and sleeveless top on hols.... unless ya got ya biking-shammy thong on with it too ;o)
My photo's of the day
click pic for the rest
Don't worry I wont.
Just promise me that you will leave your mankini at home please
Another cracking day out with a record turn out this time. 49!!
Thanks very much to Ton for sorting the route and doing a great job of herding such a large group. Nice to meets some new people off here.
As Mart hasn't yet posted, I'll go first and lay the blame squarely at his door for our getting lost.
Anyway, my pics are here :-
I got a video too of Deejay, Trevor and a couple of others (sorry, you were going too fast) Here
Can someone explain how to post a pic with a link back to Flicr please ?
Cheers.
Thanks to all the people who brought cakes and thermos flasks as well. 
<fingers in ears, eyes closed> lalalalallala, i'm not looking at this thread lalalalala.........
ok, so I looked....looks like a truly awful day so, so glad I was cooped up in a marquee from 11 til 4 ...... 
still, got a couple of decent enquiries.... and i've given myself the day off today, do some chores then head out on the bike for an hour or 3..... 
Looks like a brilliant ride, v sorry I couldn't make it
lowey , your loyalty is an example to us all .i never blamed you for the fact that the other 46 daft bastards went the wrong way
I like the cut of your jib Mart.
as getting lost goes i,ve been in worse scrapes than sitting in the sunshine drinking coffee and looking at waitresses,s arses
It was a nice arse.
and a VERY short skirt.
Yep, 1.5 hours sat in there drinking coffee and eating cake looking at that view certainly sorted out my hangover.
Surely that is admitting you are a dirty old man Dave? (we already know you are BTW)
Lowey after too much coffee and cake
Lowey, you did look a lot healthier after your coffee stop I must admit.
I'll try and get GPS / pics out this evening, might not get a chance though as while we were out yesterday my missus ended up sitting in Blackburn hospital with our youngest. He's managed to develop a post surgery infection and isn't likely to be home until tomorrow so I'll probably be doing the hospital run tonight, he seems to be responding well to the anti-biotics though.
All the best for the little fella Jon. Hope he's fighting fit soon.
My car wouldn’t start Sunday 
stumpyjon- all the best to your little lad. 
Hope everythings ok with your lad soon stumpyjon, add me onto the gps data list whenever you get around to it (email's in profile).
Cheers

that was me. You're welcome. Nice race bike
.
Ah, so it were you lot I saw creeping up to High Brown Knoll
Looked like a line of ants from the other side of the valley.
Which route did you do?
Files sent.
Little lad is on the move again but still in hospital, might be in until Wednesday but he already seems to have returned to normal levels of grumpiness . Thanks for your thoughts.
Jon
cheers for the file and I hope the little un gets sorted as quick as
Ta
Dave
Ahh NBT!!, my hardcore race machine felt rather strange when I got back on it.
Did a bit more reading on the blue pig and I think the relatively steep seat angle (compared to other slack head angled bikes) put all my weight forward. So when I steered it kind felt as though more of my weight was creating a sort of swinging pendulum affect. Could get used to it tho. Hmmmmm.
Thanks again.
