A couple of Photies from Rivvy today

Fitted Tom’s headset in his new Stiffee frame and then me, Tom and Joe decided to ride to rivvy from our house.

Loverly weather, a bit busy mind, met Jonny on his Commencal DH rig and ‘J’ near the dogkennels. Great 25 miler (not as good as the Swaledale I bet).

The view was great over to Wales you could even see the Windmills in the sea.

Jonny ‘biggin it up’ Oh to be 15 and not a care in the world. Gifted little bugger

Wales and windmills

The fire damage from last week

I’m trying to think where I passed you. I recognise Tom.

what were you riding?

Nice pic’s was up there friday and saturday.

Black chameleon. Had a singletrack special reserve shirt on. We all nodded at each other. Still can’t remember where it was though.

On the way up to gardens i think

Looks nice mate.

So whats the excuse then, you managed a Rivi ride, how come you blobbed Swaledale ?

You up for the Howgills on the 31st May ?

The youngest daughter had a dress reheasal for her ballet and tap stuff. So couldn’t manage the whole day out, hence Rivvy in the afternoon.

and it looks like a yip for the Howgills, a few others that I ride with are also interested.

What route is it, is it up the calf and the 6 miles of DH singletrack that I have heard about.

It’s been on my ‘to do list of rides’ for the past couple of years.

Aye mate… I’ll post an “interested?” thread up later today… Plently of notice for everyone then.

Interestingly Deejay and Fatgit have done it twice, both times the wrong way round.. So I said I would show them the error of their ways and take them round the right way 😆

Straight up from Sedbergh, Calf, down bowderdale (the long singletrack), Ravenstonedale, Muirthwaite (my fav DH of the ride) and the long Singletrack back to Sedbergh. Bringyour climbing legs mate.

and your cramp pills

Already got them John and using them, good shout from Mr/Mrs flash and they appear to work despite SFBarnes disapproval and disagreement!!

Zym tablets BTW not my legs
