Your still welcome Chris… Non of us lot knew each other till about 3 months ago either 😀

ChrisE, you know Granville I think? And I know Granville. So I nearly know you. Or something.

I’ve met Chris E too 🙂

But your not coming ?? ❓

But your not coming ??

I shall see how the mood moves me on the morning – both start at the same place and time. I’m split between wanting to support the club ride and trying something different. I shall probably pick the one with the best totty :o)

i would come if i had a Fr!Gg3N bike!

looks like I’m free this sunday, so I’ll be there. Looking forward to it after the Swaledale one.

😥 ive just recoverd after the swaledale one

Tom,

drop me an email if you need to borrow a bike for the day. You’d need to set off from our house at about 9am to ride Feizor, Settle. You’d need to bring peddals (or use the eggbeaters I have).

email at http://www.highbark.co.uk

Chris

cheers chris ive sent you an email

tom

chris ygm,

me and a freind will be coming along but will have to leave somewhere on the ride to get back to broton hall.

Presume you mean Broughton Hall (Gargrave)

there’s not really an easy bail out to Broughton. Probably best to do the ride then catch train from Settle/Giggleswick to Gargrave or Skipton. If you dont have a car, how are you getting up here to borrow a bike!

c

gettin driven up im going to the game fair sometime on sun but the driver is going walking so could pick us up from on the route somewhere? will have a look at the map maby lunch stop? because the ride is estimated to finish around 5pm ill be pretty screwd to get to the show

I’d be suprised, that ride should only take 3-4 hours. Think I might be dipping out as we’re probably doing Home, Penyghent Ho, Litton, Redmire Fm, Buckden, Cray, Stake Rd, Marrsett, Bainbridge Roman Rd, Cam, Birkwith, Horton, Home. Mate can’t set off until 1pm so it might be a 6/7pm finish.

C

On paper they take a short time but factor into it 30 riders all at different speeds spread out over a laregish area factor in mechanicals long stop leisurely pace and hey hoy last one @ howgills was 6 hours with just over over 2 hours stopped according to my trip computer (though guilty of two mechanicals myself)

May well see you then as we go down towards Litton

C

We shall be 5 – Trevor and Mel are coming as well. 😀

Oh and it is absolutely pi55ing down in the East at the moment 😥

Hey Folks
I’m new to these pages and I’d like to join you if that’s OK, been riding on my own for too long so it would be great to out with the group.
Dom

Dave I’ve decided to inflict myself on you – but it may be that no one will be passing Lancaster on the way there, and I need a lift (please) 🙂

I’m hoping it won’t be as hot and humid as it was today – we only did 18 miles but at the hottest point I felt I could hardly stand up never mind ride!

changed from me and a mate coming to me and my brother coming now 😉

I have been baking.

i hope it rain tomorrow………………………………. 😉

lol.

i hope it rain tomorrow

I do too – it was far too damn hot today! A bit of cooling rain would be welcome:-)

have a good ride kids…..
i will be doing retail therapy wife my wife and daughter to earn brownie points for 3 days in the lakes next weekend…. 😀

I think it only right Mrs F that you and Junkyard Johnny
publish the confectionary menu for post ride munchies.

It will give me something to keep me going through this epic in the heat tomorrow.

Please 🙂

My confectionary menu is;
Dorset Apple Cake
Chocolate & Banana Loaf with Streusel topping.

Sounds scrummy.

are there any trees?, all these northern route seem to be lacking in wood, i don’t trust places without trees

Scones
Chocolate Muffins
Upside down Pineapple cake
Fairy cakes …unlikely to get iced as I am tired

EDIT: depending on Totty SFB provides the wood 😆

Between you and Mrs F Johnny you could open a cake shop!

I hope this rain stops, it’s honking down here.

Oh and does Mrs junkyard know you oggle at female MTBers?

depending on Totty SFB provides the wood

excuse me ?? One can appreciate tottitude without unseemly responses! Anyhow, no one has offered a lift so I shall probably have to do the Bog Trotter ride…

we are off along the A59 simon, otherwise you could have had a lift.

There must be somebody near lancaster.

we are off along the A59 simon, otherwise you could have had a lift.

that’s what I figured! But it’s my fault for putting off the decision too late.

Lowey and John – see you guys 8am at mine!

Off to pack.

Sorry Simon, just noticed this. I have a full car tomorrow mate. Thats a shame you cant join us, not ridden with you since Grizedale, would have been nice to catch up.

Mrs F and Junkyard… damn fine work with the cake. Vortex, Bolton got hammered on tonight too, flash floods, the full trip. However, given the temperature, if it does rain tomorrow, it will probably be a welcome soaking.

See you all in the square tomorrow.

Lowy – I’m not Simon! I’m the guy who went to coniston last time?

Nice to see everyone again – and I could have come along had I realised the Bog Trotters ride was going to take even longer :o)

Did the Tart of Rivington (AKA hora) attend ?

surprisingly no
