Hush my mouth Steve if I've got this wrong ...but it's Bowderdale ..the ride out of Sedbergh...not the ride we met you on out of Keswick..(Borrowdale) Not that it matters as you can't make it anyway ....but I wouldn't want you to be not riding in the wrong place ! Lol

Doing silly things of very high drops haha By the time you hit the landing slope its Vertically 15/18 foot and about 20 foot in length I went so a good 20 odd mph done it loads but this time I Came down on shoulder not wheels Landed hard skidded a long way got up spitting dust out, pushed bike out way of the landing and thought I'll just have a breather before carrying on, swung both arms about up in air back n forth shaking it off Itched my shoulder and realised the collar bone ends very suddenly where it shouldn't and wasn't at the right angle If I'd not itched I'd not of known and carried on the run Not happy iv bent the brake leaver completely back on its self and hopefully not broke my reverb because atm it's facing backwards Not happy got this ride sat Bpw Thursday Peaks 100 miler in July. . Hope you haven't scratched the new paint! Speedy recover mate

Brilliant ride today, thanks to Glynn for leading the charge. Started off with lots of climbing and not much in the way of decents, but the latter half of the ride was superb, lots of nice loose rocky sections which could catch you out.
Some great banter on the way around to boot, thanks lads.
