    Dependant on whether I manage to paint the kitchen tomorrow, I'll be there!

    I've only ridden around Hebden a few times, so it will be cool to get some local knowledge.

    Alright folks, still hoping I'm feeling well enough to pootle round with you…

    I'll find some parking in Hebden (maybe visitor centre) for about 9:30 the cruise round till I see a bunch of folks on bikes 8)

    Probably won't have time to do any baking to bring though, that'll have to wait till we meet again.

    I thought Norwegian jumpers were more your scene, Tony?

    Anyhow, lots of excuses prevent me and the old ladies from joining you all tomorrow, so I hope Cafe Cali can provide cake refreshment.

    Watch out for hundreds of bikers doing Mary Townley and Bronte Big K, it'll be crowded out there!

    Sorry guys I've bailed. If I'm poorly enough that I'm not sleeping properly I don't want to be sharing it with you good lot (and driving 2.5 hrs each way for the pleasure).

    Enjoy it, I wish I was out.

    That was damp.

    But good.

    Washing on.

    That was wet, but it sometimes is the ideal way to persuade yourself to get out and ride, knowing that there’ll be others sharing the suffering!

    Good fun riding, and really good to put a few names to faces.

    Cheers all.
    Group ride was good motivation (if any were needed) to brave the elements and get out and ride 🙂

    Damp, yes … but meeting new folk out on two wheels is always worthwhile.

    A outstandingly damp, yet warm experience.

    I’d like to publicly declare my undying love for Nick (RM Blizz) who towed me along the, funnily enough, tow path back – you can be my wing man any day 🙂

    I did try to find the cafe for tea and medals but after fudging up the one way a couple of times I lost the will a bit…v sorry as it was defo my round for coffee and cake.

    Ergo Nick, email me with address(richardu@tiscali.co.uk) and I’ll post up a gift as return for your efforts 🙂

    Looking forward to meeting up again.

    Great to catch up with old names and put faces to new names……and to have a couple of good guinnesses(i) in the pub afterwards.

    Looking forward to the KS ride next month, I may bring a wetsuit, and a sail.

    Superstar order going in NOW!

    Sorry to miss one of these yet again – I was actually in Hebden Bridge anyway but a combination of still not being very well and horrid weather meant I didn’t get out of bed this morning. One day…

    nice too see you all.
    I was surprised to see so many turn out given the weather. it’s a good job we only went to the pub at the end cause i don’t think too many of us would have ventured out again otherwise.

    love tubs: no worries, i’ve been eating for two for the last couple of day’s so it’s about time i rode for two.

    Thank you for the great ride, the cakes, the smiles and putting up with the not so fast.
    Nice warm welcoming people, funny too. Nice to put names and faces; some of you were oh so gorgeous (I’m looking at you ton).
    I also like how no one has mentioned the helmet thing. Blazing saddles the very bestest bicycling merchants in the whole of everywhere.

    Clarey – thanks for the pads reminder. I changed a set just before the lunch stop and they’d gone by the end of the ride. My order now also in.

    Sorry I had to bail but don’t think my legs could do much more, thanks to the guy that came back for me and dragged me up the road before I got off, didn’t get your name but couldn’t have done it without you. Good to meet all of you and will see you soon after I’ve got some miles done.
    Cheers Danny (grey 5 spot at the back!)
    Keitu hope you enjoyed our 10 mile time trial back to the cars:)

    just goes to show it’s always good to get out whatever the sky chucks at you , that was good fun if a little moist .nice to meet you all and have the crack , rkid that was the best going over the wall manouvre with half-pike and back flip that I’ve seen for a while, and yes my brake pads don’t exist anymore either

    What are brake pads?????

    Excellent ride again, can’t beat a bit of grit in the eyes and a river in your shoes to make a downhill interesting. The two of us that cleared off just after the golf club ended up doing the first stretch from the New Delight down to Hebden again but downhill!! it was ace, if a little scary with only a front brake.

    Can’t beleive there was flapjack and I missed it… next time!!!

    Cheers
