Just Paul and me

only scenic piccies i'm afraid
Was a lovely day if a bit breezy felt like the whole ride was into the wing, even ended up pedalling down hill !!!!.

Very XC hardly any techy bits at all, just a constant headwind. ๐Ÿ˜ฅ

Reckon it would be a right sod in the winter, good for fitness mind

Great photos! The Ribble looks like it could do with some rain.

Funny enough there was more than one, does that mean the place is full of them ?

Chucky - done the Tour of Ingleborough twice now, both in wet winter conditions & the wind was always horrible!
The moorland crossing after the viaduct is bloody hard work when wet & really drags on the wheels.

Going to have to do it in the dry sometime! ๐Ÿ˜†

(Always seem to do the 'epic' rides in shite weather)

Nice looking ride mate, some familiar bits from the dentdale loop too (i.e the sink hole!!). Very vague that moor though, done it in very low 30m visibility and it is very onerous to say least.

We settled for jacobs ladder, rushup edge, mam tor today. Lots of wind and walkers but somehow still got a wee bit of sun to top up me random biker tan. Oh and the Nobby Nic held out too ๐Ÿ˜‰

Enjoy Wales.
