Ok, busdennis has kindly extended his offer of a lift to include my pal Bill (not a member of CC) so now the rider list is ...
- ColinJ
- 'Bill'
- Sea of vapours
- busdennis
- Moodyman
- doughnut
That's a decent number of riders so I am happy that my planning has been worthwhile. Still, if anybody else wants to come along - sign up below! If you do not want to commit yourself, you could just turn up unannounced, but once the 6 of us have gathered, we won't be hanging about on the off chance of other riders arriving.
@busdennis - Bill and I have worked out that by the time you had driven us from Keighley to Bramley and dropped us off, we waited for a train, and then caught the train back, it would have been quicker to have ridden back over the hill to Calderdale so we will get you to drop us off at Keighley instead of Bramley. You'd only have to nip off the dual carriageway at one roundabout and rejoin it about a mile further on. Cheers.
Time to do last minute bike fettling ...
I have a freehub problem on my Cannondale. I have been waiting for some new pawl springs to be delivered but unless they come in the post this afternoon, I will pinch the rear wheel off my Basso. I would have to swap the cassettes over because the Basso is 9 speed rather than 10.
I also have to replace my front brake blocks. I could probably get away with another couple of rides on the old blocks, but we have some steep descents to do and I don't want to risk wrecking my front wheel by wearing the blocks out halfway down one of them!
