Following the success of the Lakes and Rivington rides I thought we might continue the monthly outings with a trip round Arkengarthdale and Swaledale.
Meet up in Reeth around 9.30ish for a 10.00 start - probably be about 25 lowey style miles but with a lot less gates.
If Donk comes I have a special extra loop for him!
Interested??

You mean this one? then yes. I think it will be the same route as we did with Frank with the option of the bast@rd climb back to the top just to come down again that you enjoyed so much!
bastid........ 😉
BTW DJ, if you go up Fremington, you can turn left at the gate and follow the wall along to the downhill instead of taking the BW to the chimney...
fpb......... 🙄
I'd love to join you if I can scrounge a lift from Darlo.

I do like Swaledale - but too far away for a one off ride 🙁
will be good to see you all again and will be there
PS Donk will probably cycle over there on the day anyway

Mike - I think we might be able to manage a lift so keep the date available. Will be in touch nearer the time. 🙂
Would love to make it - prior Enduro6 engagements tho!
It really is an awesome place. I'll be up in June for the annual Swaledale Marathon (non MTB crazy fell run) - no.8 this year!
BOOKED!!!
The wife and kids have been informed that they will have to entertain themselves that day.
Cant wait!!
Gods own country, Swaledale, gods own country.
Gods own country

Nice one lowey - I am relying on you to book the weather as well - you did so well for the Rivi ride 😀
Thanks DeeJay!
(Just need to get my leg and bike fixed now...)

which one you looking at?....not sure which would worry me most actually

before you get too jealous, a vet recently told me that a ram can only 'cover' about 40 ewes in a season or they just drop dead...
i might do this ride ss, as training for ssuk..... 😯
Is the proposed pace of this ride suitable for a fat knacker just getting back on the bike after a lay off ,
And can also offer a lift from the skipton area if it is not a race round
trout, you will not be at the back, that place is booked already.... 😉
that place is booked already
if he's on a singlespeed, Tony will spend most of the ride in a different [b]county[/b]...
might do this ride ss
Why not use the Ventana in only ONE gear . . .
Trout - as lowey said of the Rivi ride - a relaxed pace. 8)
dave this 😯 should have been this 😉
OK count me in unless it is horizontal hail stones as I have been on top of fremmington edge with them and it was not fun .
Ton not bothered about being at the back ( i have got used to that now ) just dont want to hold the group up too much .
So will you all be going to Stu and Brenda Price's place at Fremmington,
Dales Bike Centre. Be a big shame not to give Brenda's cakes a go plus get your bike clean.
will be good to finally meet you Mr Trout ...suspect we will see a great deal of each other on the ride.
Will anyone actually be at the front ?
that fast old bloke with the camera....... 😉
26th ey.....
taking that everyone who is going on this arnt carbon freeks who love racing each other up the biggest hill they can find i might be interested?
Enjoyed the Rivi ride, but due to work comitments, count me out for this one.
Hope to see you out on another ride. 🙂
Taka - slow up - - fast down and lots of conversation in between
nice might come along then need to get a 20mm front wheel first though pain in the ass are thease new forks........
