Thpring into Thummer on the Thnake

Enjoy your ride lads!

I'll be doing the one from Rochdale to Blackpool on Saturday and riding back afterwards. That will be by far my longest ride this year (about 110 miles).

Let's hope the weather improves by the weekend!

Which side of the hill is Row Cross Car Park - Glossop or Staley Vegas side ? If Glossop side is it further up the hill than the cut off for Broardar$e..... sorry Broadbottom !

It's on the Glossop side on the right hand side of the road about 300m before the frog. If that helps?

Cheers Colin, enjoy yours too, the forecast looks fair so far.

I'm going either way unless it's REALLY bad. Need the work for the three peaks.

Fossy, you'll be glad to hear I've cleaned the bike so I don't embarras you putting my bike next to yours at the caff

 

[fossyant]

Might be on the ribble tomorrow, will decide then. I need the miles for the man 100 in two weeks, and as I'm on hols from work, my miles will be just with the kids

 

[dan_bo]

I've just had a cramp attack that made me look like I was breakdancing. Ride of the year that- superb weather, the biggest climbs round here, massive views good company and a half decent caff stop (apart from pouring low quality tea on my leg). Fairly epic.


Cheers y'all.

Been a cracking weekend weather wise,how far did you do then? I'm getting dizzy just reading about climbing after yesterdays epic.
Bromptonfb was trying his best to make the journey home as painless as possible but there was no way to avoid the hills.

It was 75 for me in the end- crimmey was chasing a ton but he lives further afield than I.

Yep, great day out, thanks all.

Watching Crimmey chasing Fossy up the last bit of the east side of the Snake and catching him after I started going backwards was a highlight.
