i might do this ride ss, as training for ssuk
I'll be on a SS, ton 😈
slow up - - fast down
I'll be slow up [i]and[/i] slow down 🙂
<puts hand up>
given the repeated use of 'relaxed' and 'pace' in the above thread I feel qualified to attend and not make meself look too big a twunt!!
is there anywhere bike friendly to stay local to the start point?
Current plan is to drive up with MrsMM on the Saturday and have good look round the area, pub tea and all that. Sunday Mrs MM will doubtless find the local craft outlets whilst i ride the bike 8)
im in early start though gotta be gettin up a like 5:30 to get there lol (keighley)
Taka hell its only 1.5 hours to reeth tops You could come with us if you want Im Silsden with a van and 3 spare seats ..
taka you cycling there some of us are over Manchester way and I aint getting uo that early!
Marsdenman - there's [url= http://www.dalesmountainbiking.co.uk/ ]this[/url] or [url= http://www.buckhotel.co.uk/ ]this[/url] Plenty of other B&B's around too.
Might be interested in this one too. Don't know about the rest of the 'Darwen Massive' but I think I could have a dabble. Oh, and I will be on a SS.
I am full of admiration for all you SS guys tackling Fremmington edge
I too will be singlespeeding up there 34/11 then walking when the peddling fails
trout cheers for offer but i think mi mothers taking the mutt for a walk while were out riding
anyways where about in reeth? meeting

it's hardly big enough to [b]have [/b]a 'where', but I'd guess the green 🙂
on the green on the left.
big white transit with GRAX on it in green.
nice see you there
Looks like it's going to be a pretty big group!
Didn't see this the other day dave but I'll be up for it:)
yeah lift sorted for me then 🙂
[i]yeah lift sorted for me then [:-)] [/i]
really, who's giving you a lift? 😉
A very talented local rider with a handy vehicle he does not travel well and requires regular feedings of inner tubes .... remind you of anyone?

I heard he also has a penchant for falling off sheds.
Is this for whippets only or is there room for another fat bloke???
Feel free to join us - Ton could never be described as a whippet 😉
I reckon we are up to about 20 now.
were gona be taking over the dales 😆
[i]A very talented local rider[/i]
Go on then 8)
I`ll be joining scotabroad, increasing the Scottish invasion by 1 🙂
I think I'll have to get in on this one too, might see if my mate fancies it too now that he's out of hibernation.
You never going to let me forget that detour are you deejay?
its OK I guess I deserve that.
[i]I heard he also has a penchant for falling off sheds. [/i]
Wont be doing it this year now, been credit crunched out of the trip.......suppose I still could but all about priorities:((
I've no doubt if we go out riding enough you'll be there at some point to see me do something very stupid:)
I hope someone else is coming up with another route for a month after this Swaledale trip - getting quite into these rides now, really looking forward to it:)
Dave, any chance of an idea of route you have in mind ?
Wouldnt mind having a shufty.
Might be up for this if you have room for another 2 (will see if my brother is interested in coming)
"I hope someone else is coming up with another route for a month after this Swaledale trip" ....happy to do something.
Simonralli mentioned a Stanes ride so how many willing to travel to Dumfries?
My speciallity is extended rides around Mabie and Dalbeattie.
Can do the same for Ae but it means a bit of a hike through some trees and on to the top of a hill then follow some quad tracks. Then some farm track followed by some road back into Ae????
Can also do big day rides around the Lowther hills out of Thornhill/Drumlanrigg/Durisdeer
Got a good ride out of Moffat using the Southern Upland Way over to Same Ling centre and back. Again a bit of hike a bike for those that can hack it.
Then there is the Howgills
Just along the raod from Reeth is Hawes. Some good riding out of there over to Ribbleshead Viaduct and down to Dent and Horton in Ribblesdale and Kudu cycles.
Then there is Bowderdale. Start at Tebay?
Obviously tons of stuff in the Lakes.
So if you fancy doing any of that in June with Si and me or into early July(before 18th)post up.
[b]June weekends I`m free are 6/7th and 13/14th[/b]
[b]July 4th/5th and 11/12th[/b]
i think i can be tempted up to ride in scotia again trekster.
i think i am turning into a jock....... 😉

do you think it is a hardtail day? or a full sus or a fr/dh/am bike?
What are you trying to say?
Aye scotlands a bit far away tho for a day trip.
Howgills tho, now you're talking, the Bowderdale route from Sedburgh is a cracking ride.
camp over though whilst you still have the freedom?
I also could be tempted by Scotland.
Talk about thread hijack. Lets get this one out of the way first lol.
do you think it is a hardtail day?
am I right in thinking you are 14 [b]taka[/b] ?
