Alas, I'll be going via CA, fella. I'm taking the direct route to the start...it's a quiet B road that I know reasonably well. I just have to watch I don't overshoot the car park belting down the hill toward Kerry.

[Edit - thanks for the GPX Stu - I was looking at the wrong entrance to the Ridgeway and would've been waiting for you lot to come over the hill!]

That's it I'm putting in a transfer request as long as you can guarantee gravy thick enough that it has to be cut with a knife

Rough plan, ride fri morn with Andy from mine to CS for dinner at the Ragleth. Camp up in woods and then ride down into Bishops Castle and grab some breakfast, up onto th eridge and then ride to th eother end to meet you all. Then turn around climb back up. We may leave you guys when we rejoin the ridge on sunday and return via CS for dinner at what seems like the only pub in Shropshire on a sunday night that does food after 3pm?? WTFlip :0) I have a nice spot for our sleepover on sunday evening then return home monday. I have to catch you somehow Steve :-bd

Noon / start, it's all a little vague but if we aim for it, we'll not go far wrong.

I'll email you the file over now.

So glad I don't have to worry too much about my speed now. lol

I'd still like to try and make sure I don't have to push anything though.

In fairness, it's quite a nice route. I'm not saying there might not be a bit of summat but generally quite lovely.

Christ... I hope we find somewhere relatively sheltered to stop or my Lunar Solo aint going to be coping!

Edit - Uhh, I might not be able to make this. I've been searching for an hour to try and find where I hid my keys before I went away. :lol:

As it stands, I have access to zero of my bikes.
