    We simply MUST sort an RPCC Lakes trip.
    Is that before or after the Dartmoor trip? :D

    Well I'll probably be out tomorrow afternoon sometime. How hard and where will depend on how I feel when I wake up. I'll post what I'm doing in the morning in case anyone wants to tag along.

    Anyone else got any plans???

    Whenever, but at the moment I'm trying to work out if I could do a Lakes trip once a month / every six weeks or so because riding like that is awesome training, and I'm busting to ride up there again! (so much so that I nearly tried to squeeze another ride in this morning!).

    You should try coming to wales sometime Rich.....the mountains/brecons are so nice to cycle in and once you know your way around, you can put together a killer climbing ride.

    Also, is anyone up for a ride tomorrow sometime....looks to be good weather????

    Already got the Dave Lloyd and Devil Ride taking me to Wales this year so will definitely get some Welsh miles in over the next couple of months! 8)

    No can do for me until 25th/26th now as my wheels are off to be rebuilt and I'm mountain biking this coming weekend :shock: :roll: :lol:

    Do you ever stop, James? :shock: You're a machine!

    Afraid I'll probably give it a miss, my body just can't cope anymore, I think I've probably overdone the mileage over the last week. I feel like an OAP (and probably ride like one). Just need to take one or two days off. :(

    Hey urrrs....yeh, I'd probably be free that saturday....however, I am based in Cardiff so I dont know whether that would be further away than you'd like to come. I'm more than happy to go out on a ride that day. Starting from Cardiff we could head out towards the brecons and do some of the climbs/mountains there....there is an insane one where you climb fairly steadily for what seems an age, the descent is then really steep with 90 degree turns with cars usually parked on one side or the other...you never know which....you have to be mental going fast down this one....oh yeh, and you generally have to avoid the sheep which like to stray onto the road. Anyway, let me know.

    Anyone out tomorrow....don't think I'll be able to get out today so am eager to get out tomorrow...weather doesn't look too bad. Any takers??????

    I have tomorrow off :D so would be up for a ride of some sort pretty much anytime as long as the sun is shining! Or even several laps of the park if someone wants to join to break the boredom :)

    Again, no can do in the morning - I am off in the afternoon though, so I am thinking of an RP attack, or something else suitably hard work...
