You're not starting off up Green How Hill are you ?...

If so and i make the ride I may well meet you at Ramsgill instead as I couldn't face that hill to start a ride 🙁

Can I come?

might make it hard to say lot on as you all know.
Barnes- sh1t only ton does that SFB may be able to help will e-mail next week.

teagirl, everyone is welcome.
and we will not be going up greenhow.

Very tempted, but not sure if I could handle 27miles on my SX trail. (as my Giant Trance needs a new crank arm).

Will know closer to the date though!

Aww, shame. I'll pencil it in! 🙂
Leave your testosterone at home Boys!

Should be up for this...

Oh, and Tony? Cheers mate.

So, if anyone needs a lift up- I'm coming up from Northwich, so will be coming up the M6..

teagirl, there is a very distinct lack ot testosterone on these rides.
remember, the group is made up of a few 40 and 50 somethings, a fat grandad, a few men who like to bake cakes...................and barnes. 😉

I'm in this time - spare place on the bike rack from York if anyone wants it.

Dangerously close to Stif's new place though. And they have a coffee bar now I think.

SFB I could pick you up from Skipton station if that helped?

Hi Tony, might be able to make this if I get plenty riding in before hand, what sort of climbing will you be planning?

and barnes.

I call oldest, unless it was the greyhaired bloke in the yellow jacket ?

SFB I could pick you up from Skipton station if that helped?

cheers, but I can't get a train from Lancaster before 11am on Sundays. I might be able to sleepover in Preston and catch someone swinging by...

Bugger - us penrith lot are going to be partying in London...we'll be there next time 😀

what sort of climbing will you be planning?

stu, the kind that two old fat blokes can puff and pant up, while talking tosh............ 😉

igm - I'll be coming from Bridlington if I can get my Giant sorted in time, I might take you up on the offer if no one else does before.

Oh yeah!

I'll be coming from Bridlington if I can get my Giant sorted in time

that sounds like getting your excuses in early!

Its about time I got out for another of these rides, Graham and Mart have been on at me to pull my finger out for ages.

Count me in as well Tony and a spare roof rack space from rossendale if anyone is interested.

Ton. Would you post a map of the route please.
Are you going around Scar house?

didmatt - email in profile

Think i'll join you if thats ok..it will be a good purge of
The system before stag wkd.. 😉

Sounds like it's about time I got out on one of these.

Are there any bail out points along the way as I've just had operation on my back which meant I've only been out twice in the past 2 months ,would like to come but don't want to be holding you guys up .may have 2 spaces on bike rack from Warrington area

I'm a dum ass didn't read the first post properly ,can't make it as iam leading a ride with my local club (st helens woollybacks) will try to get out on the next one though , have a good one.

Just checked route planner and it is a 3hr drive if the weather is good 😉

While I will have to make a [b]very[/b] hard decision - which suspension? - how much travel? hard tail? - I will have sleepless nights all week beforehand and might not stay awake if I get there at all 😆

which bike, NEW bike, big bike, little bike............decisions decisions decisions............... 😉

Yeah ton - but which [b]New[/b] bike - you will have bought and sold a couple at least in a month 😉
