Holme Moss at night?

[longers]

Can we put back the meet until 11 tomorrow am in Holmfirth?

 

[marinyork]

Yes, I'm more than happy with that.

 

[dan_bo]

Aaaaahhhhh nine thirty starts. It's almost like a day off.

 

[longers]

Ok, after an excellent ride round the route today, I'm happy with the roads. I'll describe the bits to watch out for in advance on the night but there's not too many.

Let's do it

Ninethirty pm start from the Royal George at Greenfield, Friday 3rd July.

There's a layby right next door for them that need to park cars and it's just down the road from Greenfield Train Station on the Manchester Victoria/Huddersfield line.

 

[Kestevan]

Count me in.

Assuming my bike has been fixed......

I'll probably meet up with you at the cattle market in Holmfirth, if thats OK... I want to minimse the number of trips I have to make to "the dark side" of the hill, Lancashire is a bad enough place in the daylight, let alone after nightfall

 

[trio25]

Now, is this a sensible thing to do when I am on a course all day at the weekend...

 

[longers]

Okay, the weather forecast looks very favourable, so who's coming?

 

[Kestevan]

Oh, go on then......

I've borrowed some lights, the bikes been repaired(ish), and I've just about recovered from the WRC on Sunday.

Any idea what time you will hit the Cattle market in Holmfirth? I'll meet you there

 

[longers]

How about half ten from the junction at the end of the A635?

 

[fossyant]

I won't be there....booo...........the kids (well mainly my 6 year old daughter) is being a mare at bed time at the moment (my son always was a pain) but we now have two that mess about... the missus would kill me...... think it's the heat and 'light' evenings......

Weather looks very balmy though..........have a great ride you lot.

 

[dan_bo]

sorry i'm going to be getting elephant's trunk tonight.

 

[marinyork]

It's forecast to rain here for the next 6 hours. I should be dry in the evening but with no direct sunlight on the roads I think they'll still be saturated and not much chance of drying out.

 

[Kestevan]

I think I'm going to have to give it a miss too

Woken up this morning and I feel like I got massively "Elephants Trunk" last night.

Headache, shivers and an aversion to movement....sitting at work now, wishing I was at home in bed.

 

[marinyork]

Rain seems to have stopped. Anyone from me and Longers still considering going?

 

[longers]

Not stopped raining here, I think giving it a miss might be sensible and more enjoyable
