Right... time to put your hands up.

Meet [url= http://www.streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?x=365610&y=492271&z=115&sv=365610,492271&st=4&ar=y&mapp=map.srf&searchp=ids.srf&dn=706&ax=365610&ay=492271&lm=0 ]Here[/url]

There is a bit of a car park / layby at the start of Howgill Lane, Gives everyone the option to park whereever you like, kit up and meet there at around 9.30am. Look to be riding for no later that 10am.

Approx 26 miles... big arduous climb at the start, long downhill singletrack then a long pedal back to Sedbergh.

Please only post if (barring something unforseen) you are a definate, just so we can get an idea of numbers and if we need to wait longer.

Tell her you'll be home by 10 this time then. Anything earlier is a bonus.

I had my window down as I drove off from yours to see if I could hear Banshee wails...... 😆

Tony, when I embarrassingly face planted outside my house on Saturday, I also got one of those annoying haematomas in my calf, which hurts far more than any minor surface abrasions. I'll see how it is on a ride this evening before I commit, but I'm very keen to go if at all possible :o)

Oh stop moaning Hora and come out. You bailed out of the Rivi ride at the last minute, so come out on this one. The weather is booked and the route is a classic.

Hora is a well-known biker tart. He usually only rides with his dog, which pretends to be impressed out of love...
