How much does it cost to Oldham?
.......but it's not like I see anything like that myself.
Many club runs go: Littleborough, Todmorden, Hebden Bridge, Mytholmroyd, Cragg Vale, Blackstone Edge, Littleborough. It's almost exactly a 20 mile loop with over 1,000 ft of climbing. The usual target is to try and break the hour for it. I haven't managed it yet, but one day I hope to. Obviously it would be much easier to achieve riding in a chaingang.a_n_t said:think our clubrun is heading hebden way on sunday

Why would I want to wave at an empty house!Cubist said:Cool route Col. Goes past my house. When you climb up to Scapegoat Hill from Slaithwaite and turn left to go on Halifax road, my driveway is just past the bus shelter you can see on the right hand side. Wave, but I will be in Doncaster watching Cubester thrash the Thee-Thar's at rugby.
Ouch - sounds like you are lucky to be riding again so soon!Svendo said:How do all, I'm hoping to make it out for this ride if the weather isn't too bad. Radio 4 just said 'Mostly Dry for weekend' except NW Scotland.
It'll be my first outing since a bad crash 10 days ago, trying to overtake a bus at 33 mph and chain came off...
I do want to try out my new wheels though (American Classic 420s ) and I'm mostly healed and most impotantly I've the GF's blessing!
Plan to ride out or get train in case I feel rough and want to head home earlier.
Shucks - and I've just changed the last section of the route to make it more interesting for you!Svendo said:Hi Colin et al.
Afraid I'm going to have to bow out of tomorrows ride.
ColinJ said:Calum just texted me to say that he is out late tonight so he doesn't fancy getting up early to come over here and ride up and down over a lot of big hills in the morning!
It looks like it will be just 3 or 4 of us then. It's a pity - the forecast is looking very favourable.
Come on folks - last chance - doesn't anybody else fancy a guided tour of some of the nicest hills in this area?
A Manchester Wheelers chaingang overtook me on the Cragg Vale climb a few years back. They were all on their big rings and doing about 20 mph up the hill!aJohnson said:I'd love to but I think I'll be tagging along on a Wheelers ride
