    Hey.

    I might be able to ride with you some nights as now it's getting lighter I'm wanting to put in more miles.

    I'm going out shortly so tomorrow I'll look into it more and see if I can make some plans.


    Thanks
    Will.

    I just checked on Google Earth

    I am 8.6miles from you, based in the city center.

    Tomorrow I will draw some routes up as because you live up north it makes opportunity to go up north, I'll draw something up like 40 miles, around 25 or so miles for you.

    Maybe can meet half way or something? Maybe even do a ride today in the evening.

    Do you know any routes?

    If not I can possibly draw one I think/hope will be decent and put it on my GPS.

    Want to meet for a ride tonight? I've got some maintenance to do on my main bike, just some gear indexing but I think it'll be done by then.

    Have you got any better forms of communication?

    MSN Messenger?


    Thanks
    Will.

    Have you got any routes you know of? I see there is some nice open country roads not far from there so good place to start!

    I'd say Haywood road right next to the Heaton Park reservoir as cant miss that place.

    James if you come either go straight there or come to mine first, I'll put the route there in my GPS.

    Spooky. My partner and I are down the road in fairfield (norden is too upmarket for us!). So I'd say yes to a meet up - perhaps Edenfield Rd/Rammy etc

    I did not know if you had a route?

    Next time we need some sort of communication.

    Volvine, my partner goes to the V-drome a couple of nights a week but other nights I'll be free. If you want a gallop out at weekends pm me and we'll see what we can come up with. You both might want to think about doing audaxes eg 100km as these allow you build your fitness and give you a wide range of times to complete them in. I think Manchester Wheels are coming North this w/end but I don't know what there pace is.

    Hilly and pretty fast I guess, although they normally will wait at the top of climbs/next junction.

    I'm leading a Wheelers intro ride on Saturday, but that's going to be going south and flat....

    Can anyone tag along? :)

    I need to get out with other riders more, I reckon. I've hit a bit of a brick-wall with my solo training... :?
