As a longtime lurker here, what do i have to do to take part?

I have just put a leave request in at work

Rock on up...enjoy the ride...and maybe get a little damp in the process. :)

In a nutshell ^.

Cool, thank you

Just had a nice afternoon doing some WWB recon'. Found a lovely old road that luckily meets up with another old track that crosses the hills ... hopefully it'll be something new for all and very pleasant.

Yep, right place. Carpark just off the road next to some farm buildings.

Just found it on street view . It'll be nice to go somewhere new

i'm up for the original wwb,

Think this must have being the cosiest ever.



This was the busiest.



and this, the wettest

The last one also being the most fun!
Although those santas were sh1t, they never bought presents for us

You got mince pies!!!!! They were mini I grant you but they had to be carried there.

sorry mate i forgot about those

Any idea what sort of start time we're looking at?

Also, are there going to be other slowish riders on this one? I'm still in a really bad state after my illness, but I'd like to try to get around. :(

I'll keep ya in check Rich...you know my pace.

Usually say mid-day Richard ... slow? Oh yes

Route's looking to be around 80km all in with something like 1600m of ascent. Still have one setion to check out but it shouldn't alter much if at all.

Cool. Cheers.

Was just wondering if you were planning on going to a pub with WIFI Stu so those of us at family do's could be skyped in?

<runs like feck>

that's a point stu , are we planning on a pub stop for something to eat,
if so we will leave the stove at home

Yeah, should get something to eat although it might be a late afternoon rather than evening stop.

Final recon this afternoon to see whether a section of track is actually a track or simply a green dash on the map ... surprisingly, upon investigation, it transpires that for once the green dash is in fact a rather nice 'track'. I wouldn't have bothered looking usually but it was a good excuse to escape the fitting of new bathroom for a few hours. Did me good, I can tell ya.

Nice one Stu,
Pretty sure me, Mike and Chickenlegs will ride over to the start.

I need to get home mid - late afternoon on Sunday, so will get the train, probably from Newtown.

I'll be riding to the start...not sure if I cross paths with anyone else heading that way.

Good stuff. I'll need to be back at a reasonable hour so will aim to get the biggest percentage of miles put away on Sat.
