Hi Colin,
I would like to join your intrepid group for the forum ride tomorrow.
By way of introduction I'm a regular reader of the forum which I enjoy very much and an occasional but infrequent poster. I live in Littleborough which might seem strange when you hear my westcountry accent as I come from Devon originally. At 57 years old I might be the old codger of the group and I'm a bit of a plodder up the hills, but a determined plodder nonetheless. A couple of weeks ago I did a 44 mile circular route with a former work colleague from Whalley taking in Barley, Downham and Waddington Fell. Whilst my super fit friend reached the layby at the top of Waddington Fell at least 3 or 4 minutes before me I managed to stick at it and get to the top. So this has given me a little reassurance to tackle your more hillier ride.
If you wonder who this strange bloke is in the car park I ride a black Revolution tourer.
Looking forward to meeting up tomorrow at 9.45 am in Hebden Bridge.
Cheers for now.
Brian
