It's just a crazy off-the-wall idea, but you could maybe bring a bike with a chain?
Or one that with a mech that has a better that 40% chance of making it to the end of the ride.
well that is two less for cake ...... you have a very good point I can offer no defence 😳
i'm in.
lowey: i'll offer you moral support, my local has a beer festival that weekend, so i'll also suffer at the back, just don't be screaming like a girl when you see a six inch drop in front of you, i need to be in one piece for spain.
has anyone got a route map of this? tempted to do this or the bronte big k
Me and Cath could maybe keep up with the intoxicated few 😆
May see you there! Or in passing? Or I'll wait at Cafe Cali!
Bronte Big K is great but with lots of road! Did it last year...slowly!
teagirl were you near the back of the pack with another woman?
teagirl: if you bring the cakes i'll try to keep up 😆
Taka, that was me! I'm slow but keep going.....
Ok izakimak, cakes will be abundant 😀 special hangover curing bakes!
yeh but not as slow as me i followed you from around widdop to the end 😉
Yeah!!! Unusual for me to be infront of anybody!
Ahh - a ride on a day I might be able to make. I shall try to remember to bring [s]lard[/s] cake for afters.
depending on work i'll be there!!
Looking forward to this...
p.s. I can offer a lift to anyone from Newcastle area...

Evening all.
I won't be able to guide this at the weekend. Been ill off and on now for a few weeks and decided that now I only have a week and a bit left to work my notice period at work, its an ideal time to take some time to recover before my new job. Can scribble the route on maps etc if anyone needs it.
Dave
is this on gents?
i've got a belly to get rid of 🙄
Oh, didn't see DBW's message - I am still up for this (or something similar) if someone else can do the guiding.
I can guide it if people want
davie will email you to confirm where you were intending to go g
have emailed you via your website thing g
G, i will be reserve guide, bringing up the rear......... 😉
and yes everyone it is still on.
ton- the forks arrived today after two previous attempts by ups ill bring the cash on Sunday
tom
cheers tom............. 8)
and i shall be lurking around cafe cali from 9.15 onwards........admiring the scenery.......... 😉
Just seen this - having problems accessing my mails at the moment. Route I was intending to do is:
Hebden Bridge > up the Jack Bridge BW to the New Delight pub > straight on here along the lane through Field Head farm to the BW at the top of the hill > turn right here through the gate and descend to the bottom of the valley and then climb out the other side on the road to link up with Edge Lane (Pennine BW) > head NW towards Egypt and drop down the doubletrack descent to Lower Gorple Res and then onwards to the road to Widdop > cross the dam at Widdop and climb up to the Gorple Road and descend that as far as the BW heading southwards into the back of Cant Clough Res > from here take the BW south through the valley to the road at the windfarm > road stretch towards Tod for about a mile or so and then take the first proper road to the right and then immediately left as you start to drop. This takes you onto the BW towards Whirlaw Stones > BW all the way traversing along the hillside to Whirlaw Stones > BW continues onwards through the golf course car park and then when you hit the road, take a right and then at the T junction, left > pass the church on the right and a nice big stone house and the BW should be signed on the right about 1/4 mile at the most after the T junction > drop down here and then when it spits you out on the road, turn right and keep going straight ahead all the way down to the main road at Eastwood.
From here there are two options. One was to go straight up the road to Mankinholes, along the Pennine BW towards Hebden and descend down behind the station on something cheeky. Or go along the road back towards Hebden and then climb up towards Blackshawhead and descend something like the BW from Slack back into the woods and then finish on the bottom half of the Jack Bridge BW.
Let me know if there are anymore questions. Would like to be out but don't want to break myself even more!
Does anyone have a postcode for the meeting place?

Bugger - will just have to catch up on Tues 😀
Room for one from Sheffield if anyone needs a lift up.
Dependant on whether I manage to paint the kitchen tomorrow, I'll be there!
I've only ridden around Hebden a few times, so it will be cool to get some local knowledge.
Alright folks, still hoping I'm feeling well enough to pootle round with you...
I'll find some parking in Hebden (maybe visitor centre) for about 9:30 the cruise round till I see a bunch of folks on bikes 8)
Probably won't have time to do any baking to bring though, that'll have to wait till we meet again.
