what's with the 1/2 hour early start time? Is it going to be a long un?

no longer than normal, but a cafe stop for a cuppa is nice…. 😉

Aye see you there

Any chance of a route map, think this will be going in the diary tonight.

Nice one ton – I may well try and actually make this one !

I'll be there.

me nt bro will be their this time 😉 (hopefully)

It's on the calendar 🙂

See you there!

Another one I can't make! I'm off to race Dusk till Dawn, hopefully I will be about for the next one!

Gutted Tony – missus is due to give birth to our first 'un that day otherwise I'd be there. Know the trails around Ogden etc like the back of me hand. Where you headed? Sheep trail around Warley Moor Res and then out towards Limers Gate / Luddenden Dean etc?

I'll also be at Dusk til Dawn – so you'll have to arrange another one on a later date 😉

Darlo contingent should field a full team

some pics from last year's visit to Ogden to get you all in the mood

Ton making full use of his suspension!

click the pic for more

edit – and the hills on this one have got nowt to do with me 🙄

If that's the bit I'm thinking of DeeJay (off the moor top, down to the gate), it's been sanitised recently 😥

We were up on Ogden last night, cracking in the dark 😀

I might be at the back but count me in as well

i am up for it

You out on Friday night Mart for a bimble

Yep, my fitness should be getting there by then – I'm in for this one

Can't see the pic from work but I assume its the drop when you have Thornton Moor Res on your right, off the top off the moor after the nice long singletrack climb?

Yep, unfortunately its been 'sanitised' about a year back maybe? Tis dead fast now though with a few little launches and stuff thrown in and theres still some nice lines right at the top.

MMmmmmm I might make the trip up for this to shake down the FS as its the week before I head up to Scotland!

Davey – Sanitised trail is Hambleton Lane. It's better other way round to your description, as a climb with long singletrack descent to Odgen to follow . You then climb the cobbles rather than descending them.

Hmmm just remembered I;m out on a Leo Sayer in Manchester the day before.

Still going to try and make it though. I'll have spaghetti for tea in Manchester washed down with a yard of ale.

Think I'll be joining you chaps.

Not north enough for me I'm afraid it's a bit too far down south.

House move pending, I'm in..

Aye Dave – I'm always undecided which was to do that loop (Ogden over to Sowood Lane etc). I love that climb but its a cracking descent too but its mind numbing having the cobbled climb first! Might look into an opportunity to head back towards Halifax and climb up something that way first… I hate the cobbles!

Either that or move and start the ride elsewhere….

;o)

Should be good for this one providing I don't become a father 4 weeks early….gulp

binners, are you bringing you big lanky mate????

you need a pushing partner Ton?

johnnie, there will be some downhill pushing on this route……. 😉

i'm a maybe as i'm out sampling some of manchesters finest ale houses with lowey on sat aft.

With me I think you'll find Wors.

I too will be lending my skills to this endevour

Ayatollahofniche-will the Mrs. be coming too?
If so I'm hoping to come along.

Not sure Bunnyhop, she's got exams in Oct so maybe not 🙁

O.K. Shame would be great to ride with you both again.

I'll try and come anyway.

Me and Tom'll be there too! Nice to catch up with you guys again, and be shown more quality new trails.

Good pics DeeJay – that stairs lane climb looks pretty tough!

iamout as per Terra and Trio. Bugger.
