Forum ride for coffee & a pub lunch, Hebden Bridge, Sun 4th Mar

[aJohnson]

I think 47 miles should be doable for my current fitness, put me down as a probably.

Okay, here is the updated list of riders:

• ColinJ
• potsy
• bromptonfb (meet at Walk Mill on A646)
• Pennine-Paul (ditto)
• oldfatfool (if he can get a lift over and/or back)
• aJohnson (probably)

 

[I like Skol]

Sounds like a great idea.... ....and will be a change to have a pub lunch instead of a cafe stop.
Couple of pints then downhill all the way back

Oink! Did somebody mention food?

Unfortunately I will be in the land of Nod while you all pig out enjoy this training ride. Cafe stops are fine as far as they go but a pub lunch would really let me get into my stride

3 things-
1-ILS don't worry I'll eat an extra cake for you.
2- Are you doing a gpx Col or is it not worth it?
3- Weather looking a tad wet now, hope it's not.

 

[ColinJ]

If you'd like me to map out the 3 loops, I'll do that for you tomorrow. (I don't need the GPS to tell me the way since I've done all those roads scores or even hundreds of times!)

I've had enough of winter now ... Weather Gods - I want a good spring, a fine summer and a glorious autumn - thank you!

Shame they are now forecasting snow and sleet for Sunday

Don't go to any trouble Col, thought you might have it already is all.
I don't mind not rushing off ahead for a change

Still keeping fingers crossed for the weather forecast being wrong, been lovely today riding home in the

You gotta be kidding!

(Goes to check ...)

Hmm - iffy on the BBC weather site, okay on the Met Office site. Well, the BBC are obviously wrong!

Ha - a lightweight heavyweight - I'm aiming for a total of 10,000 posts by the end of March!

Yes Alun - this one would be a good introduction to the art of forum-riding-with-a-recently-healed-leg!

 

[Alun]

Can't make it this weekend, I'm afraid. I'm going out with the club for the first time in ages. I'll be along soon though!

 

[Rohloff_Brompton_Rider]

well it's either going to be cold and dry or cold and wet according to the bbc.

Is it time for a "Posts" ticker?

I'll be there before I worked out how to do it!
