To Ant - nearly went up Apple Street, but last time I remember it's got ridges/steps on the road - didn't fancy taking the best bike over it. 19 miles and 1900 ft of climbing !

yeah its a wierd surface and steeper than it looks in the photo!

I logged over 4100ft today in 35 miles! Ouch!

Thank you. I may come along. 8:45 is a good start time.

Does that site have a GPX download option? If so I can stick it my newly acquired Garmin.

 

[longers]

400 - try having a look in "export", it looks like it gives you two options for gpx download.

Right, i'm defo up for this run (my first CC/Group ride ever) I will proberly ride up to Mottram along the A-57 and meet up with you all there.Going to use the MTB as it's not too bad when the tyres are on rock hard mode.

Nice one Skud,probably see you there as I'm running out of excuses not to come

though the bike does need some attention soon,3,000 miles of commuting has taken it's toll on a few parts.
Am going to attempt repairs next week whilst I'm off work,could be disasterous

Good luck with the repairs,i'm sorting my transport out this week.Might re-attach panniers but there again i like the trim look on the MTB

If you need any help I'm happy to give a helping hand (I'm no expert but can hold a spanner in one hand and a cup of tea in the other )

Nah, Potsy's hoping to come to my house first for a full service, wash, wax and a cup of tea...... before we set off for Mottram.

Cheers,I'm not too bad at the holding bit,it's what to do with the spanner that's the problem

Ha Ha yeah,double time on a Sunday?
I'll take it all apart,bodge it completely then bring it to yours for you to fix

better make it 6am then

Or I'll buy a complete new bike and 'pretend' I've fixed the old one(might try this on the oh 1st)

I do hope all that involves a bike !

I'm up for this if that's ok?

So...so far I have 7th Nov at 8:45am for a 9am start.

But where though? I'm a Brinny lad so getting to Woodley for whatever time is easiest for me, but I don't mind riding or car'ing it to anywhere.
