    Details for ride this saturday>>>>>>

    Going to try a route starting HERE,its a pay and display car park near the tourist information centre so some change will be needed.

    Looking at meeting at 10am for a 10-30am start,the route takes in Malham Moor Lane upto Mastilles Lane and upto the route’s highpoint on Kilnsey Moor,down to Winterburn Reservoir and a fast descent into Hetton,and a return to the start in Grassington.

    The route is 20 miles long,and will be taken at a steady pace,with a bit of stopping for map reading as this is a new route for us.........everyone is welcome to join us :)

    Biggus.... Good to hear you still around mate. At least you are getting some fitness into them legs for another crack at Walna Scar.....

    Good ride out yesterday, not too bad on the trails, a few bits dry and fast. Mastiles Lane was abit of a grind but worth it...

    Couple of pics from yesterday.

    It's in Scunny on Sunday, think the time is around 12.15pm. It's on the British Cycling website somewhere.

    If the weather is dodgy I'll be joining him, but if it's dryish I'll be doing a ride on Moors, Peaks or Dales. I'll know for sure around Thursday I should think.

    Okay no problem :D and where your going is it anything hard or fast? I just need to know what sort of people to ask because some of them probably still have their stabilisers on haha.

    Ride This Sunday In White Peak>>>>>>>

    Going to do a 16 mile ride starting HERE,it is called the "Linacre Classic",meet at 10am for a 10-30am start.

    Ride is described as,"It is a quiet ride, and the high proportion of quality singletrack makes for an entertaining trip few have experienced,it is all rideable with a few technical bits which will throw off all but the best"

    As far as i know the car parking is free,but bring some change just incase.

    It will be a slow easy ride,as again its a new ride we havent done before,so there will be a few stops for map reading......everyone is welcome,and nobody will be left behind.

    It does state in our book that you can do it either way, which would you recommend. Steep climbs with long descents or long climbs with short DH's?

    Hi Eddy, I'll be in touch and plan a work route to stop over one Tuesday night soon, but something else has cropped up this week which means I've got to do a one day raiding mission this week and not stop over.

    Which area should I best stop overnight to suit yourself?

    See you soon

    John
