    hi and welcome dave...
    we dont ride dalby a lot mate,maybe once every 3 months,we would rather get out and about riding the peaks/dales and moors,dalby is ok for a quick blast but nothing really challenging there compared to the natural stuff you can find about 1-2 hours drive away.

    i did the trans pennine both ways. hornsea to southport and back to hornsea in 9 days. 9 of us did it and we raised 3k. there is a report on my website., should be some pics and vids up there soon.
    the office had to design us a special certificate as no one else had tried it! .... or were that stupid!
    anyways, next year is 450 miles, but its more road biased, so sl will be ok. :lol:

    nice little ride today,of 27 miles on the dales,we did the bainbridge bash out of mbr.
    very hard but enjoyable at the same time,just a pity we couldnt see any of the dales due to the fog we had all day,visibillity was down to 30 metres at times,you could hear people coming up/down trail but couldnt see them for at least a minute :lol:
    id do it again at some point,but not in the next couple of months,i need time to recover :wink:

    Aye, it was a good ride out, with a few laughs on the way...

    Very hard going on the ascents, a fair few metres was climbed me thinks, the legs are feeling it today. I think Barkey will still be in bed....

    So, what we got planned for the weekend? Another ride around that area, but some miles knocked off...?
