    Or you woke up and switched on the tv,saw the weather,and went back under the duvet pete :lol::wink:

    Ride was a fun 16 miles to say the least,got caught in a heavy downpour with 3 miles to go,and the last downhill was slippery,which was made even worse seeing as the nice sand from the moors had destroyed my brake pads,leaving me with no brakes :cry:

    Should of listened to giggsmaster and gone to the peaks instead :roll:

    Im not to sure where we are going on next ride yet,but it will be next saturday or sunday,as soon as i find out,ill post details on here,for everyone.

    NEW RIDE INFO......

    Going to take on the peaks this sunday starting HERE,will be looking at getting there for 9-30am for a 10am start.

    A rough idea of the ride will be-up jacobs ladder(yes that says up :lol:) /down towards hayfield/coldwell clough/roych clough/rushup edge/down chapel gate/the road climb upto mam tor/hollins cross and back down to start at barber booth.

    All welcome to join us,it will be a nice steady ride,we always wait and never leave anyone behind.

    No worries richie63,it will be a nice easy ride out,as giggsmaster will be out with us,and he is still recovering from his off on the WHW.

    Had a nice ride out on the moors today with sl2371,started in Hawnby and made our way upto and down Black Hambleton,ive never seen anyone with a bigger grin then sl2371 had at the bottom of it :D .
    Made our way back over Locker bank and back to Arden Great Moor,and followed the Cleaveland Way,taking the descent to Boltby Forest,and ride through it to the climb upto High Paradise Farm,then the descent past Gowerdale Wood/Sunnybank Farm and back to the car in Hawnby,19.3 miles in 2 and half hours. :)

    Aye, looking forward to a nice hot days riding in the Peaks. Is Barkey not joining us then?

    Just been for a good 6 mile hike upto Levers Water above Coniston today. Loved climbing up, but coming down was a different matter. I should have been on 2 wheels for the descent, would have made a good DH. Shame it's a footpath though, very rocky, not that I would have rode it at the mo.....

    Nice1 barkey,when i was out with simon on tuesday,he said you can get a lift with him if you was going.

    Just make sure you all have plenty of energy drink/bars/food,or what ever normally gets you by on a ride,as we will be out for a few hours on this ride waiting for giggsmaster to catch up :wink:
