Sure you can come, though I don't know whether healey nab will be done tomorrow - as we'll be heading back to the barn to meet people who can't make the early time - unless we go striaght there in the afternoon or something.

We are meeting at the lower barn on Lever Park avenue - I'll be on again tonight to tie up loose ends .

Not quite - look on google earth, on Rivington lane there is a place called Great house gallery, on the opposite side of the road to that, there is a long straight drive up to 'Rivington hall barn'.

We are meeting on that drive, at the end close to the 'great house gallery'

Hope that helps - you were close

Hehe, you're looking for a silver citroen xantia (best search the net for that lol) and a slightly more popular red vauxhall astra.

Failing that, 3 people standing around with bikes - same colours as the cars lol.

Ahhh, the power of height

I'm just thinking up a route that'll take a few hours, you can get up and down rivi in 35 mins, so a longer route ont' tops is in my mind

Depends what the moor top is like, if its just waterlogged, we can go around rivi, or try and find healey nab... which might be a slightly foolish thing to do...

Lots to do on the hill though, I'm looking forward to a good ride now

StealTheR

yep, so i'll cyas all tommorow then, bright and early :P

andituk

Rode at Rivi today and conditions were great, one or two bits of snow piled up next to the tracks, and a few soggy bits, but with most of it being rocky and sandy its drained well.

Enjoy
