Was only joking Dan_bo I'm OK for any time.I get up at 4am most days so 7 or 8am is a lie-in

Any more takers yet?

 

[dan_bo]

Right. 4.30 it is then.

8.45 for a 9.00 kick off. Someone give Foss a nudge- this is his doing......

 

[Hacienda71]

I might come. Btw is any of it in Cheshire

 

[longers]

I've taken the liberty of putting two possible routes on a map.

First route

Second route

Only suggestions mind, other routes are available.

1st one it's flatter

Could do with knowing the elevation of the last ride I did with the Cheshire cc boys last year,if this one is similar then I should be fine,just going off that profile those routes look worse to me

 

[fossyant]

Oh... 'ello am I late...Potsy's given me a nudge. ...SORRY

Profile is lumpy - need to check the routes Longers has done, so long as Gorsey Brow isn't there (never ridden it) and Chapel Brow isn't there.....we'd be dead by about 5 miles......................

Just checked, he's routed round them.

Route 1 is better.

For Potsy...three climbs - Long Hill both ways, then Chunal (the short steep way) - it's not killer stuff and it's a 40 miler which means we'll be home at a good time.

Better Late than never - eh............

As for in Cheshire....nope - Tameside......... Starts near Glossop - 6 miles from Stockport. Runs close to the border, so watch out for the guards.........

Dates folks........ not a fixie ride though.................

 

[fossyant]

24th I'm away, 31st I'm away with cubs,

So 7th November.......... ?

Potsy, you could always park up at my house - I'm 20 mins max from Mottram by bike - suggest the ride meets at either the cutting, or the statue at the junction of A57/Broadbottom.

 

[RedBike]

Count me in. I might have to be left behind part way around though as i'm still REALLY slow climbing.

Cheers Fossy,would probably have a slow ride down and meet you in Woodley somewhere if that's OK,not sure of the way from there.
Looking again at the route Longers has put up it will be tough for me but doable I think,just need to shed a few lbs before hand now.

Redbike-you won't be the slowest believe me

Re-think, I might just take you up on the offer Fossy,
20 mins that's what 8 miles for you then?
