The route is coming on nicely. i've been for a wander today and all is looking good, just hope it doesn't rain too much before hand.

@donk: wildeswood will be ridden in an upwards fashion.

@jellybaby: the more the merrier.

I'm excusing myself from flapjack duty cause i've got a 5mile ride to the start and i'm bollox'd if i'm doing it with a tin of flapjack under my arm.

wildeswood will be ridden in an upwards fashion

not quite what I was getting at but it's a fun climb too 🙂

Just to let you know from yesterday's experience. San Remo/Belmont descent has some rather interesting knew whopping-gert-big holes in it from all the snow. Which makes it even more interesting. Hurray for erosion!!! 🙂

up wildeswood heresy I tell thee.

See you there will make some flapjacks as well

So i'm a heretic(?) oh well that's life
i'm going to ride the route on saturday so if anyone want's to join me mail me.

nick, gonna have to give this a miss.
family duties have arisen……………sorry mate.

No worries Ton, another time.

Ya big tart! You missed mine last year too.

I reckon Ton has been deported from Lancashire in the distant past and is never allowed to return… Probably for being in the possession of illicit Yarkshire credentials.

Do you think we got shut of all the baduns over them hills, when we found out that Australia was full Lowey? 8)

C'mon Ton theres 12 months in a year, so you're spending about a month apart most girls would love that much 'me time' so one more day won't hurt! Bet you're not that nice anyway 😉

What do you reckon izakimak and lowey?

Yorkshire wuss that's the problem 😉
I think he's scared that we might lock him up for being from t'wrong side of t'hills. 😆

Just trawled through 14 pages to find this post again 😥 Now ive wrote this – you dont have to 🙂

Chucky either as they both end up at the same place, i prefer the techy singletrack, i did half and half on saturday.

Ton you could bring the missus and your credit card there's retail therapy at the meeting point.

wrist not to bad, i am king of the powerball now

been thinkin of gettin one of those gyro 1's…be able to hold mi pint glass better 😆

pub stop at the belmont bull (that should keep lowey happy

Now your talkin.

Nice one another girl! We'll show this lot how to ride 🙂

Ahem, seriously considering one of my mates suggestions.

Ride over to the meeting place (be an early start), ride with you guys to the Belmont Bull, then spend the rest of the day getting trashed on a Sunday Afternoon Sesh.

See how the ride pans out.

mm Dave now there is a surprise I will be walking the 6 foot from my moored boat to the meet you all may sail up to arrive in style as yet undecided.
I will do cakes and if people bring cups [and milk unless you want soya!] I can do brews for all. May even do a veggi chilli if I can really be bothered and enough interest Can heat up up a meat one if anyone wants to do one.
Nick I reckon it is better to meet over the other side at the Lock and Quay pub – now shut down – parking for 20-30 cars as Botany bay can be @rsey about people parking there.

Brilliant. Thats the swinger.

Looking forward to this, some steep climbs there izakimak, glad to see there'll be some stuff I don't know and will be interesting to see how you link up the stuff I do know. Should dodge the sunday hoards that lowey loves so much too.

snowdon…7th…
