Actually, I have another one here, which for some strange reason also contains a Potsy. I wasn't going to post it, but on reflection I think it is worth posting as I have to wonder what Phil was thinking. Maybe this one should be a caption competition

I now know what Potsy looks like, it is good to put a face to an avatar

Just remember the camera adds 10lbs

 

[I like Skol]

Just remember the camera adds 10lbs

And knocks off 6 inches? (in height I mean!)

 

[ColinJ]

Dont forget you need to come back over here and ride up Otley Chevin

Yes, I would like to try that again, without a DVT/PE, and over 60 pounds lighter!

Just remember the camera adds 10lbs

Which only leaves 20 lbs to account for ...

Love this thread

When Colin said we had to ride up the main street and turn left, we didn't realise he meant it literally

I recognise that lovely little climb (berry street) if I'm not mistaken. Much prefer the downhill stretch just after the video finishes

Yeah, that downhill was brilliant, with the normal tailwind there you could hold a high speed for many miles

There was one last steep climb... (well, apart from the one to get back to the car park)

It's weird seeing me cycle.

Here's the first couple of videos from me of the ride.

#1 Heading for the Trough, alongside the River Hodder to Whitewell. I catch up with @robjh and some of the lead group. Lovely road.

I don't often get to see myself riding. Have you speeded the film up or was I really going that fast? Great soundtrack too but it does mask my witty banter as we passed.

Great vids though.
