Great ride today. Lovely to see familiar faces again and some new ones.

Thanks to the organisers and thanks to the kind people who made the cakes.

Apologies to Bunnyhop for reversing into her, I really don’t know what happened.

Matt (on the under biked Boardman)

Thanks to all for a great ride today, pretty hard to see where you’re going with fogged up glasses riding in fog 😯 See you all soon. 🙂

Todays Turbine.

Same Turbine from more or less the same place.

Had a great time too,Thanks to the guides, top route .Thanks to everyone else, havent enjoyed myself so much in ages,and mr Jones’ fandabulous cakes agreat ride in the silver soup

good ride out everyone despite the “claggyness” of the weather. Cheers for organising, nice to see familiar and new faces.

Oh yeah missed out on the cakes back at the carpark but the blondies were lovely, top marks!

I was at Lee quarry today… foggy wasn’t it! does that make me a secret part of a secret club, or just a lazy guy on a SS, moaning the whole way round about lack of fitness/confidence/skill.

Does any one have an idea of how many miles we did to-day? ( nowhere near as many as Donk though 🙂 )

Sorry to have missed it (hands note to teacher ‘she had to go cx racing in Bingley’) and hope to come next time. But what did you do to the weather? It was sunny in Todmorden when we left this morning…. 😉

I think Matt said 18 miles, it felt more like 50!

Cake was great Graeme, thanks, but those savory scone things,omg, how good were they?

Thanks to justme and Mr.potato head for leading and backmaning.

I have forgiven you Matt for reversing into me, squashing my front wheel and leaving me lying on the ground 😉

T’was sad that Ton wasn’t there 🙁

18 miles ? Pfft, my little legs reckon at least another 10 on that !
Bunnyhop, check your email tomorrow, re recipe.

It was actually 20 miles, 3 hours ride and 3000 feet of climb.

GPS stats here.

Valley miles count double. It’s a scientific fact.

Thanks for that Matt, I think you need to re-calibrate your compooter / GPS
See you on the next one !

Computer doesn’t lie!

Glad I forgot about the ride now! sounds like hard work.

Excellent day out. Got home, lit the fire, didn’t move all night. Winner 😀
Remember, Marple on Sunday Dec 18th folks, thread to follow. And there night be something else in the offing…

Thx a lot for the organising, good company, great circuit and all out fun. Really enjoyed it & hope to meet up for another.
Next time we can even marvel at the glorius views of Bury 😉

INtermediate post, the pics need a grey background 🙂

Apologies for the delay, only just got round to putting the pics on the PC. These are the the only ones worth anything
