It was the perfect type of ride to get out on if you haven't done much lately. MrCM was out on his singlespeed and just set off before everyone else, getting to the top somewhere middling to rear of the pack!! Plenty of rest/stretch/food stops too 🙂
SFB - great photos, as per usual! Can't believe you stayed up so late to get them finished! Well done on the name retention skills by the way.......I'll add a couple later ;-D
MrCM was out on his singlespeed
ah, that's your old man eh ? Presumably he has a given name, and does not merely serve as an acolyte to the goddess ? Moreover, he is legally allowed to check out your arse whenever he likes 🙂 I hadn't noticed he was singlespeeding!

Yes but DeeJay that was at least a dozen bikes ago...
ton claims to still have the ventana
not seen it for a while tho!!g
yeah, but when and where is the next un?
you guys nornmally have it decided and published before we have finished the cakes and tea at the end of the ride.
need someone to put a shout up perhaps the dales poss skipton/ingleton way might be good - nice and central
or we could all go on the derbyshire ride on the 13th g
the ventana has just been fitted with a nice set of 200mm saints.
it is hung in the warehouse, and i am just gonna give it a good fettleing.
and the 160mm kid's brakes off the fisher h/tail i rode on sunday have just been swapped for a nice set of hope v tech jobbies. 8)
Dunnerdale please!

Ton, singlehandedly keeping the bike industry out of recession once again!
Wasn't Reeth mentioned as venue for the next ride, or did I leave too early on Sunday to hear any final descision.
keith, you have to do your bit for the country mate........ 😉
I heard all manner of thing mentioned but Reeth did stick in my mind.
Also, there was some confusion as to the date. Deejay was going to consult the oracle and let us know I think.
All a bit up in the air really.
Oh and the Northern Chapter rides are 1 year old next month.
try again
i think reeth was mentioned for later in the year as its a longer ride and prob better when the days are a bit longer
feb can be a lousey month weather wise so maybe good to set route accordingly
i dont really care where it is anywhere will do g
you could always celebrate the 1 year birthday by doing Grizedale again.
There WAS mention of revisiting the abandoned Kirkby Stephen ride, but maybe that would be more fun in the "summer" when things have dried out a bit!!!
Out on bikes last night - still enjoying chatting with the guys about Sunday, and how much fun it was to have a really chilled sociable ride 😀
Ton - I must admit I did look at your rotors on Sunday and think..........hmm they are quite small!
Tons black sizzling rotors.

I did laff at the bottom of "Rock and Roll" as he hurtled towards the fence shouting "my brakes do nothing!!"
hmm they are quite small!
he wasn't going fast enough to strain them 🙂
got me some 'ton' size hope 203mm on it now.
barnes, do you want me to remind you how long i was at the bottom of moor lane before you, on the grizedale ride. 😉
i'll 2nd claire on revisiting ks but when the suns shining should be cracking
will also 2nd redoing the first ride by way of an anniversary "do" g
i will lead a big old peaks ride if people fancy.........
with some proper big hills and views.
Tony did you really have 160mm rotors front and back?
yep....and boy did they smoke............ 😆
it's like trying to stop one of these

Buggered that up!!
It was supposed to be a sh!tty British leyland drum brake.
teach me to rush things between jobs at work. 😳
barnes, do you want me to remind you how long i was at the bottom of moor lane before you, on the grizedale ride.
I'm hardly a standard for speed - I'm too busy looking for trees, rocks, clouds, mountains, reflections and contrasts, and the faster you go the less you see 🙂

28th Feb would be exactly 1 year - and happens to be my Sun off 😆
Looks like we have a date then. Just need the venue.
