Holme Moss Loop

[fossyant]

It's been rare in the last 18 months that I've ever been near the Snake or Woodhead and it has been bloody windy.....

I've only done Holme Moss in reasonable conditions.... so it's a bigger gear folks......

 

[colly]

I'm free for once, its the day after a cross race though, so as long as you don't mind the fact I am slow I'll be there.

Phew!

At least I can pretend I am keeping you company.

 

[a_n_t]

Reckon its more like 8-10mph for me!

Make that 6/7 mph! today, well there was a headwind

 

[marinyork]

Just been looking, can get to the starting point in about 35 miles. So should be good.

I'll check the diary and see if I am free (or can get away from the umpteen kid's parties we have been invited to). Worst case I can probably just head over to Holmfirth and go up Holme Moss with you lot. From my house, up Holme Moss and back again is about two hours.

put me down as maybe definite Longers.

i'll be there.

Do you mean you will be riding 35 miles before AND after that circuit? Bl**dy hell. Should be good indeed.

 

[a_n_t]

I'm up for it if i'm free. Not climbed up from holmfirth side for a while!

It is certainly a possibility. It would make an insanely difficult day.

 

[fossyant]

Which way round are we going - up over Saddleworth, then up from Holmfirth ????..... great, prevailing winds means it will be a hard slog.... can someone please rub out the mile indicators every quarter mile.....

 

[dan_bo]

Oh poo fozzy's going.

i'm bailing!

 

[Kestevan]

I'd quite like to tag along too.
Assuming SHMBO will let me get away with it.

This sounds good! Where are you guys starting from? I don't fancy riding from Leeds, doing the loop and riding all the way back again! I'll get the train part of the way.

The start I was thinking of is Greenfield, it's on a train line (not sure which one though).


Or we could start at Holmfirth if that makes it easier for people. Us from this side could meet there very easily.

I'm happy to go with what suits most people.

I will be going over from Leeds if you fancy a lift.

Same as you, I don't fancy riding both ways AND doing that loop.
