Its a problem because I don't have a printer. Never had a need for one really. I did see that club and due to the downloading the app I gave it a miss.
Fair enough. If you popped into your local library you could probably print the form out there.
On your rides where do you usually go and how far?
We have done century rides in previous years but I think the longest forum ride I've done recently was about 85 miles. Normally they would be 50-70 miles from Hebden Bridge, and very hilly -
this kind of thing. I've gone along to a few starting from the outskirts of Leeds with CC members out that way.
I've come to the conclusion that I'm not really fit enough for long hilly rides this year (I've not done enough riding and am pretty overweight at the moment) so I will probably stick to 65 miles or less until things improve, though I am toying with the idea of doing a flatter-than-usual round trip to the coast and that would be nearer to 100 miles.
Some of the rides head out to the fringes of the Yorkshire Dales and back. Another favourite destination is the
Ribble Valley though it takes most of the 60 odd miles just to get there and back. When fitter, I'd add another 30-40 miles out there. We normally call in at the Country Kitchen cafe in Waddington.
I try to keep off busy A-roads where possible though sometimes the forum rides return on the A646 if we can't face any more hills. I say 'we' - it's normally me who cracks first! I am almost always the slowest rider on climbs so the rest of the group go ahead at their own speed and wait for me at the summits. It means that they get the chance to take a drink, enjoy the scenery and have a chat. So far, nobody has complained and I always make it clear that this is how things will be. They aren't 'chaingangs' and people wanting that kind of thing would be frustrated. 'Slow, scenic and sociable' would be how I'd describe the rides.
Most of the rides are on Sundays, though sometimes we have done them on Saturdays. I often make the Sunday starts fit in with the first trains into Hebden Bridge in case anybody wants to come in by train.
