Anyone fancy a forum ride, Forest of Bowland, Sun 20th July or Sun 17th August?

hi Colin
I know that car park! Anyway put me down as a provisional yes for the July date, I'll ask for permission from Herself this w/e and let you know what she says..

I tell you what... I really like this FoB route so I'll ride it again in August for those who can't make the July date, how about that ? It could be Sunday 10th or the 17th or the 24th. Any preferences?

Don't feel you have to repeat it for us - I should get off my lardy backside and go and do it anyway.

But I know I won't, so 10th or 17th August are both fine for me at the moment, Colin.

Well, before my cycling buddy emigrated to Spain we used to ride the FoB 5 or 6 times every summer so doing it twice isn't exactly a problem!

I'd be quite happy to do it again, providing the weather isn't like today's - wet and windy! Looks like it might have to be a turbo-session today .

Someone on BikeRadar is suggesting the 17th or 24th so it looks like the repeat ride will be on August 17th then.

COL!!!!!! You chose the day i go on holiday!!

Andy - can you make the repeat ride on August 17th?

Actually I got an email from them this morning telling me about their latest trip to the Alps. I don't think that they are ignoring us, I think that it's more a case of spending time actually cycling rather than just coming on here and reading/writing about it, unlike some of us (e.g. me) !!

It looks like they will probably be coming along for the July 20th ride .

Will do, and of course you'd be welcome.

My fitness isn't what it should be. I've put on a lot of weight so I feel slightly nervous about the ride but I'm looking forward to it.

PS - you'd get to see your old Arione saddle in action!

 

[bonj2]

nice one

sounds further than i normally ride, but slower - but that's probably a good thing as I think if i tried to ride that distance on my own I'd probably go haring it off and knacker myself out!

 

[dan_bo]

I'll maybe 'em both if that's OK.

 

[In trouble]

Me and the wife are intersted, for the aug 17th, just got to get the time off work first. Cheers.

Be a good start as we will have had our first road bikes for about......1 month :0)

Ok Dan, I'll add you to the lists.
