Forum ride - Hebden Bridge to Waddington, Sun 29th January

[Steve H]

I'd really like to come on this ride, but I'm going to have to declare myself as being a 'long-shot'. Going on a boys skiing week the following weekend, so getting a pass from SWMBO is going to be very difficult. Unfortunately this weekend is out for me as well as we've got friends coming round.

Gutted!

See you all at the mini North West Passage ride.

Put me down for a strong possible Colin.

It looks ok just now, no family commitments, Mrs out on the Sunday too, but work might rear it's ugly head. It will depend on if I can get a project finished by Friday or Saturday at the latest. I should be ok but I know how things can take longer than expected.

 

[Alun]

Have a good one folks, watch the frost early doors!

It's next Sunday Alun - hopefully conditions will be milder by then, though I do like the blue skies that cause the cold (lack of cloud cover).

Yeah, plenty of time to get fit Al It will be a slow one I'm sure.

Colin, you need to change the original post now that you've been on a ride

Yes, as a recent graduate of the 'How to not ride a MTB, fall off and break your leg' school, that seems like an idea whose time has finally come!

Don't forget your stabilizers

It seems like 09:00 is the preferred option - is that okay, folks?

I'll see if I can, bear in mind I haven't been on the bike in quite a few months. Put me down as a maybe.

I've only done 33 miles since November 20th - you'd be fine! (Dress warm though! )

[I like Skol]

I will have an answer for this later today. To be fair it is her turn for a couple of gym sessions and we can't both bu**er off at once as we have young children. Looking forward to cycling to HB for 9am if I get the chance though. If the 66 mile route plan is correct I could be looking at my first 100 miler in many years with my 23 mile each way 'commute' to start the ride.

Fingers crossed

EDIT: Just got word..... all the Saturday classes were booked up so my other half has booked 2 classes for Sunday. DOH! Nevermind but I will have to miss this one chaps. Shame I am such a decent bloke or I could have just said stuff it I am going riding (ducks quickly!)

Have a great day.

That's a shame ILS, don't get too upset when you see my MCL ticker on Monday
Any decision from Tubby yet? Be nice to have some company at the back
