Evening all.

Do you have room for a forty-something that's too old to grow up?

Mrs Gruff says I can come out to play if you don't mind me tagging along.

Whippersnapper ❗
Long time since I was a 40something 🙄

Book me a place at the back with the pushing up hills fat gents club (unless the weather is carp) in which case I will stay in Shrops 😉

Looks like a full turnout of the pies team is on the cards

EVERYONE IS WELCOME………………..just so everyone can hear….
and there is a cracking pub selling black sheep 0.5 mile from the start/finish.

pietastic…………. 😉

genius ton

Excellent.

I've never tried Black sheep……must remember to bring along some pocket money.

hope i've recovered by then from my bday booze up the wkd before

Should be in good order that ale too Ton. Its only brewed over the hill.

Black sheep mmmmmmmm.
All we need is some hipflasks with some spirits, now where's Justme?

Me and Mr Cooroo (aka StuE for some reason) would love to come too. Will make flapjacks if I'm feeling organised…

deejay might have to lead this.
i might be out on my roadbike riding up and down the a1 😆

what sort of climbing will you be planning?

stu, the kind that two old fat blokes can puff and pant up, while talking tosh…………
Sounds like my sort of thing! 🙂
Don't mind if I tag along, do you? 🙂

Hmmm…I'll be off that day & I'll have been married for a week! She might want me out of her way by then.
Sounds like a plan.

[Psychiatrist voice]But which one do you feel like deep inside Tony?[/Psychiatrist voice]

😀

If it was Ton in the Incredible pose, I would be waiting for the biggest exhale I have ever heard 🙂

just a reminder..

Should be up for this all being well, does anyone know if the parking is free or pay & display (don't know the area at all sorry!)?

pay and display.

Yep, me and the girls will be there providing the rain isn't horizontal and/or wind galeforce.

i,ll be coming , soz for the late notice

mart

looking forward to chilli cake etc.suppose we 'll have to do a bit of bikling first

i shall be coming too i think so long as my forks go back together 😉

You do realise its Nidderdale. It can go from glorious heavenly sunshine, to hellish rain and fog, in about 4 seconds. All good though.

Chew, living a couple of valleys away I know what it's like. I just never fancy starting in 'orrible conditions. Previous trips up Nidd have always had a wide range of weather, hey ho, I don't fancy soggy cake!

After today's poor effort in Kentmere, looks like i'll be along on this, but will also be a mid 40's pusher at the back.

Do me a favour Ton, don't throw any daft big hills in at the end please 😥

Thats my job 😉

Thats my job

We are all too fully aware of that, any chance of you not being so good at it next time 😆

Ton – keep it up big fella. I can't make this one as having a Welsh trail centre weekend.

I would be very interested to know the route if you could publish it after the event ?

any chance of you not being so good at it next time

I have one of the steepest bits of tarmac waiting for you when you come to Swaledale . . . . at about mile 26 😉

Oh – and then the offroad starts 😀
