Decided I will come to HB, will be nice to get a few hills in.

Excellent! It'll be a scenic ride out to Whalley apart from one built-up area (Brierfield) but that doesn't take long to pass through because it is on a descent.

Good god, I've only just realised, we're talking about going into Lancashire here!

Do I need a visa?

It's in the diary - my plans will be dependent on whether Helen can make it and give me a lift over, and her preferences, but I'll aim to be there whatever.

 

[Arch]

Oh, and you must make it over to York sometime. I can probably arrange a ride in which the stiffest climb is going over the Millennium Bridge over the Ouse...

Or take you over Warthill. Now, that's a hill. Well, I think it is. Others disagree....

 

[Christopher]

I'd like to register an interest for this ride please, could just about do it on fixed as Whalley Nab (local climb ) isn't on the agenda. Most likely I would meet you all in Whalley as I am not sure I could do the ride all the way from Hebden Bridge unless on the lightweight geared bike which I won't take out in the rain (or snow or ice or slush or mud)

Pencil me in for this one. I should have the snot rocket right by then.

Whazzat then?

[aJohnson]

Oh I misunderstood. I thought you meant you'd have firing snot rockets down by then

 

[dan_bo]

Nonono well on top of that one

 

[Christopher]

Shouldn't you be zzzz'ing Dan? Don't you have Chesire lanes to terrorise tomorrow

(apologies to ColinJ for hijacking his thread)

 

[dan_bo]

Just nursing a smoooooth Pinot noir to its' rest and I won't be too far behind.

 

[aJohnson]

This'll be my first Hebden Bridge ride being 18 (Turn 18 on Apr 2nd), hopefully it'll be a good and nice weathered one. Trio, up for meeting at the same place arranged for the previous ride?

 

[ColinJ]

Hmm, I think I forgot to Submit a reply that I did yesterday to a few of you! I must have Previewed the post instead...

I can't remember what I wrote other than to say to Arch that Warthill only appears to be 25 m above sea level so that hill must start off underground!
