    Following the success of the Lakes and Rivington rides I thought we might continue the monthly outings with a trip round Arkengarthdale and Swaledale.

    Meet up in Reeth around 9.30ish for a 10.00 start – probably be about 25 lowey style miles but with a lot less gates.

    If Donk comes I have a special extra loop for him!

    Interested??

    You mean this one? then yes. I think it will be the same route as we did with Frank with the option of the bast@rd climb back to the top just to come down again that you enjoyed so much!

    BTW DJ, if you go up Fremington, you can turn left at the gate and follow the wall along to the downhill instead of taking the BW to the chimney…

    Mike – I think we might be able to manage a lift so keep the date available. Will be in touch nearer the time. 🙂

    Would love to make it – prior Enduro6 engagements tho!

    It really is an awesome place. I’ll be up in June for the annual Swaledale Marathon (non MTB crazy fell run) – no.8 this year!

    Is the proposed pace of this ride suitable for a fat knacker just getting back on the bike after a lay off ,
    And can also offer a lift from the skipton area if it is not a race round

    if he’s on a singlespeed, Tony will spend most of the ride in a different county

    Trout – as lowey said of the Rivi ride – a relaxed pace. 8)

    So will you all be going to Stu and Brenda Price’s place at Fremmington,
    Dales Bike Centre. Be a big shame not to give Brenda’s cakes a go plus get your bike clean.
