Scenic Forest of Bowland forum ride

[ColinJ]

Well, perhaps the 26th then, but that might clash with something else. Let's thrash it out after this ride is over. I'll start a new thread next week.

Actually, that date clashes with the Tan Hill 200 from Padiham, but with 4,000 m of climbing, I don't think I'll be riding that this summer!

The 26th also clashes with the York Cycle Show. Aargh!

Yeah, I'm still trying to work that one out - it's probably an old Manchester expression!

Well if it is I've not heard it before, there again I'm a Stopfordian
It's probably some form of 'text speak' you know what these bloody kids are like

"Stopfordian", cool, I've learnt a new word today. (don't know why I didn't know it though!)

Ok - so the weather's looking not quite as bad as we'd feared, but not quite as nice as we'd hoped. 10 - 12 degrees, fair bit of wind coming in from the west and a bit of rain in places, but shouldn't be too much rain all in all. Think I'm going to wear longs and bring a waterproof.

 

[Rohloff_Brompton_Rider]

depending on what time i finish, i may see you guys in morning. if i don't, have a good one.

'cos you is a northerner innit

Anyway- I'm out of this for definite now, not felt great all week tbh, combination of working long night shifts and getting a bit of a cold.
My usual exemplary level of fitness is lacking somewhat so probably not a good idea to be punishing myself on some tough hills.

See you all on the next one and make sure Colin takes plenty of pictures, I want to see an over the shoulder shot too, just to prove you got to the front at least once
