Very good!
Either 08:45 in Hebden Bridge (for 09:00 start) or 09:45 at Oxenhope station - let me know which you intend to do.

Roll up, roll up. Monday is going to be the best weather of this long weekend, and a trip into the Yorkshire Dales is going to be gorgeous. Put down your excuses, phone in sick, it's going to be one to remember. You don't want to miss out!

Yes ... We have carefully arranged for all the rain to be dumped on Yorkshire between Friday morning and Sunday evening. Monday will be dry and sunny - honest!
Ok, rider list for Bank Holiday Monday, 26th May:

Well, perhaps that would slow you down to our pace!

If you are booked up on Monday, don't forget that there is another of my forum rides in the Forest of Bowland AONB on June 7th - see this thread. I will provide more details once this Dales ride has been tackled.

It doesnt take much to slow me to a snails pace.
I have been told I am going over to the Wirral on Monday, so will not be able to make this ride. Wish I could do the 7th June, but I am doing the way of the roses c2c that day. One day I will get on one of your rides!

Yes, catch you another time, Martin.
The forecast is currently that it will be mild and sunny all day, dry on the way out with a moderate cross/tailwind, showers on the way back with a moderate cross/headwind.
See the rest of you at 08:45 in the car park in HB, for the 09:00 start, or at about 09:45 in front of Oxenhope station.
Steampig - if you want to be able to text me in case of problems, PM your number to me and I will text you back from my ride phone.
I will check this thread at 21:00 today, but will be offline until then.

Rather than loading up the car with bike and kit and driving to Hebden Bridge for the start, I'm going to ride directly from Brighouse to Oxenhope and meet you when you come through. I'll peel off on the way back in a similar manner to ride back to Brighouse.
If I've understood the thread correctly, I'll see you all in Oxenhope around 09.45.
Right - off to fettle the bike. It has been extremely creaky again recently and needs some loving attention.
See you all tomorrow - don't forget the sun tan cream.

[I am just awaiting the delivery of a document which I have promised to proofread and format for someone, so in the mean time I have looked back in here ...]
Ok Steve, see you at Oxenhope. Steampig should be there too, and my tiny pal Carrie has also said that she will be there so look out for a 5'1"-ish woman on a racing bike and introduce yourself!
In case anybody is interested, I am attaching a GPX file of the route. To cut down on the number of trackpoints, that only goes as far as the return trip through Oxenhope. The rest of the ride comes back over the hill the way we rode out in the morning.

The sun is shining and rain has disappeared from the BBC forecast - whoopee!
Less wonderful news - I have no appetite but I have to force myself to eat a decent breakfast or risk bonking later ...
