[#925475]

At the end of the Ogden Water ride much discussion took place about where the next one would be which I think is where the confusion occurred as to where we were going.

The next ride will be from Kirkby Stephen in Cumbria - The final route will be decided the week before depending how kind the weather is over the next few weeks.
It WILL have hills, it WILL take all day 🙄
There is a big car park in the town [url= http://www.streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?X=377320&Y=508885&A=Y&Z=120 ]HERE[/url]and the post code for the town centre is CA17 4QS. As the clocks will have changed by then I think we will stick with Ton's 9.00 meet for a 9.30 start. Mileage will be the usual 25.

So boys and girls who wants to come and play?

Probably need lights for the end of this one DeeJay.

Can I be in the group that decides spending all afternoon at the cafe drinking, eating and oggling totty this time?

I seemed to find myself on the one with big hills and pain last Sunday.

Sorry Chucky, but membership of the coffee quaffing, bottom ogling club is strictly by invite only. You have to at the very least prove beyond any reasonable doubt your complete ineptitude at following a group of 40+ bikers. Sadly, I seem to have met the entry level with honors.

I will most certainly be there. I love this part of the country. Not sure if I will be on my own or some of my crowd will actually decide to join us this time.

Chucky - now I know why they are worried about your clothing choice for Spain!

It's not me they should be worried about, it's Grant threatening to take a mankini because the Villa has a pool that's got me concerned.

I'll make sure that we vet the photos carefully before posting, I know how sensitive and easily offended the STW massive are.

yep i'll be there to ride up hills, drink coffee, eat cake, and if oggling bottom's comes into the equation well it would be rude not to!

Lowey: i'll bring a big ball of bailer twine so you can follow that, you should be safe for the first 500yds 😉

Ah... the pennies just dropped.... Kirkby [b]STEPHEN[/b]... for some reason known only to myself, I was thinking it was Kirkby [b]LONSDALE[/b]. Doh.

Brilliant chippy in Kirkby Stephen and a couple of good real ale pubs.

Right, I've pushed the boat out for this one! Due to the distance from mine I've booked the Saturday night in Kirkby Stephen at the Black Bull, dunno what it's like but it was cheap and central.

So I'll be fuelled by a full english on the Sunday 🙂

I got a single room :cry:, for £30 through laterooms.com, doubles were £55 I think.

More the merrier, then I get drinking buddy's on a saturday night away, and maybe even some of these fabled waitresses in short skirts.
