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!]

Just emailed out a gpx to interested parties ... if you're interested but don't receive it but would like to, send me an email.

Yes please Stu.

NEWS JUST IN ... it appears that we may have a pub for Sat evening. Even better is the fact that they have home made steak and kidney pudding ... northern people rejoice!

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

Shhhh Stu....you'll have the imports* changing route and there'll be less tastiness for us!

* I'm now marked as export...so I can get away with this one.

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

evening pub the stove can stay at home ,
I have also picked up another stray boner , john who just finished the TD in October and is lacking the motivation to get out .
so that's one more for us

Stu have sent you my email for the GPX. Am definitely coming. So that will keep the average speed down.

Are we still planning a noon start?

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.

I suppose I should see if I can put a bike together.

I can bring the ss to slow it down some more

I match your single speed jay and up the pot by bringing mrs burty ,
game set and match to me

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.

You don't go out with Stu often do ya Rich?
I'll be mighty surprised if we don't have a yomp at some stage. It's good for the soul.

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

Pushing through crap is fine, I mean stuff I could normally ride.

People ... bring bin bags

Aye, it’s looking a little damp

We goin' flytippin?

No but Mike'll probably be skip-diving for food and he'll need something to put it

I'm getting flashbacks to Bala. Should we tell Burty to bring appropriate clothing this time? :)

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.

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

Your days going aswel as mine them
