I'll still be there. I'm looking forward to it.
Will be my first longish ride of the year. Bet it rains...0 -
I'd like to confirm I can come, but I'm working nights 10-6/11-7 so i'm going to be sooooo tired! I'll probably be able to make it, as long as the pace doesn't get silly! Work is nearby, and there is a swimming pool available to me, so i'm considering chillin' there before rolling down through Bollington to the meeting point.
Due to my odd working hours, I've done a few rides in this jet-lagged kinda state recently and I always end up getting really grumpy because of it so i'm hoping my power has improved enough since last time to be able to just use this ride as a long cruise with minimal suffering!0 -

meeting time, place, etc.... is the car park free etc.....
postcode for at navs etc - in this thread somewhere

thanks :oops:0 -
This is a little embarassing, but is anyone who is coming have a Garmin 705 and able to program the route in? I know the area, but don't know the exact route! NapD was kind enough to plot it out, but may not be there to lead the way. I don't want us all to get lost!!!0
-
I have a 205 and can stick it in....
But it is just a beep and an arrow, to turn, not a map.
Nap should stop being a girl's blouse and quit the sqealing and excuses....
(I need him to push me up some of the hills)0 -
...........if anyone can tell me how to get the .gpx file to one the 205 will recognise (.crs ??)
EDIT: google told me. It is now on my 205 BUT I have never used it to follow a course. It is there so it should work. Will do us if needed!0 -
-
I've got one as well.
The only problem is you'd all have to follow at my pace and you might get bored...0 -
Have to say this again - it will be a SLOW pace on the day. A comfortable, friendly ride. No one left behind. Group will wait at the top of any climb we encounter (and there won't be many).
Nothing to fear and a good chance to meet some 'forum' faces!
Long range forecast is for cool temps but sunny skies. Will be checking daily and hoping for a dry day so that everyone shows up.0 -
Anyone heading across from the Sheffield area want a lift?
Room for one with bike in the car.More problems but still living....0 -

Thanks for the reassurance. I have the route on waterproof (ever the optimist) A4 which uses an OS250k (road atles styleeee) background. I'll bring a few copies along to save others the bother.0 -

Very kind of you. Like I said - have ridden most of it before - as will some of the other folks - but nice to have it plotted out just in case!0 -

Do we all have to wear forum name badges, or is it guess the member competition?
