This sounds really tempting Anyone going by train from Manchester per chance? I'm tempted to say I'll come along, but I'm so unfit it's unreal!

sparrowlegs78

If coming by train where will you be getting off at ?

sparrowlegs78

Good job I bought 2 massive bags of Haribo to bring, coz i think it'll be in demand for the sugar rush

i might make a trip to the local bike shop and get some blocks, they sell them cheaper there than everywhere else

It will probably have to be Bamford railway, 5.6miles according to Google to the derwent dam where the car park is I think, anyone care to comfirm?

If I come there's a great sweet stall in the Arndale market. The jelly teddy bears are delicious, they are soft and full of flavour unlike the haribo ones. I shall bring some

sounds about right, most of it is uphill too. If you can find out what time your train gets in we'll see if we can get anyone own there to pick you up.

NDawn

Well depending on what time you're all hoping to be there I may have to miss, I believe the earliest the train will get into Bamford is 0845

Cheshley

meeting at 9.30 for a 10am start.

NDawn

Ah that's pretty doable Nice, in that case put me down for 75% certainty I'll leave the other 25% to the weather.

Got a nice new bright orange waterproof/windproof jacket!
Nothing will stop me coming!

should hopefully do the trick...

Cheshley

looks toasty.

I can easily pick up NDawn from bamford station if there is a confirmation of time. 08 45 is plenty of time to get collected and drive to fairholmes.

Richie

maloo

Well just had my Wisdom tooth out so hopefully should be feeling good enough to ride on Sunday

CraigXXL

I'm still hoping to be there on Sunday however I have a stomach bug at the moment which is great for weight loss but bad for cycling
Unless I can get my energy levels back up then no one else need worry about been at the back of the pack unless you want to use the excuse of keeping me company

kangaroo

yes.. cough.. cough... that's exactly what were doing, those of us at the back are just keeping the others company. in fact were so caring by the end of the ride we wont know who the person is were supposed to be keeping company with cause were all back there. except for caz as shes had to much haribo, and is on such a sugar rush that she's 2 miles in front of everyone else
