need someone to put a shout up perhaps the dales poss skipton/ingleton way might be good - nice and central
or we could all go on the derbyshire ride on the 13th gPosted 2 years ago # -
the ventana has just been fitted with a nice set of 200mm saints.
it is hung in the warehouse, and i am just gonna give it a good fettleing.
and the 160mm kid's brakes off the fisher h/tail i rode on sunday have just been swapped for a nice set of hope v tech jobbies.

Ton, singlehandedly keeping the bike industry out of recession once again!
Wasn't Reeth mentioned as venue for the next ride, or did I leave too early on Sunday to hear any final descision.

keith, you have to do your bit for the country mate........
Posted 2 years ago # -
I heard all manner of thing mentioned but Reeth did stick in my mind.
Also, there was some confusion as to the date. Deejay was going to consult the oracle and let us know I think.
All a bit up in the air really.
Oh and the Northern Chapter rides are 1 year old next month.
Posted 2 years ago # -
try again
i think reeth was mentioned for later in the year as its a longer ride and prob better when the days are a bit longer
feb can be a lousey month weather wise so maybe good to set route accordingly
i dont really care where it is anywhere will do gPosted 2 years ago # -
you could always celebrate the 1 year birthday by doing Grizedale again.

There WAS mention of revisiting the abandoned Kirkby Stephen ride, but maybe that would be more fun in the "summer" when things have dried out a bit!!!
Out on bikes last night - still enjoying chatting with the guys about Sunday, and how much fun it was to have a really chilled sociable ride

Ton - I must admit I did look at your rotors on Sunday and think..........hmm they are quite small!
Posted 2 years ago # -
I did laff at the bottom of "Rock and Roll" as he hurtled towards the fence shouting "my brakes do nothing!!"
Posted 2 years ago # -
hmm they are quite small!

Posted 2 years ago # -

I'm hardly a standard for speed - I'm too busy looking for trees, rocks, clouds, mountains, reflections and contrasts, and the faster you go the less you see
