I might be able to make this one dependant on how things go work wise earlier in the week, at the moment I'm 50/50 but will know Wednesday night.
It would be good as the Mrs is working at the weekend so it's a god way of getting a ride in.

Gonzalo, Have you still got chance to do a cheeky gisburn visit on your way to or from your lakes meeting? Yup...not this week because I'm taking the missus with me. However I'm supposed to go to Gisburn on the 13th November if you can make it? After that, 23rd or 24th for Gisburn. When is the new steed arriving? |

Bikes coming Monday testing on Tuesday.
Let me know nearer to the 13th if it's a defo and remind me, who are you going with? If not the 23 or 24 the should be okay but confirm for sure nearer the time. Once you've been on the 13th you may not want to go back so soon after.
You should try lee quarry as well before it becomes derelict. It's a bit marmite and people who go without knowing how to best piece it get her think wtf but it's worth a visit especially when every else is a mud fest as it's mostly rock and hardback so you get a little wet but not slipping in mud.

Sorry Glynn, just got the daughters tucked up for the night and seen your text.
It's been a bit busy this week which is good for my back pocket but means until after tomorrow I don't know if I need to work Friday or not.
So please crack on without me and if I'm off I'll have a steady one around hebden way, not been around there for two or three months.
I if I work hopefully then I'll get out for a decent ride on Saturday instead.

Do Wharny Glynn...I hope to do it again this weekend...and maybe Cannock or Gisburn... G, if you wanted to do Gisburn on Sunday morning (nice day) I was talking tentatively to Gaz about visiting on Sunday.
I would have to start around 9am so I'm done for sure by 12/12.30 but normally its only 2 hours so that would allow for some extras or a couple of goes at the bike park style hope line which everybody tends to love.
I gotta be home to take over the kids as my wife goes to work but might be good for you as frees up sometime.
let me know, gaz as well, as if its a goer I will ride tomorrow, rest Saturday and do the family stuff and then Sunday. My old bones need that day recovery lol.

Guys...
I'm doing Wharny again this Sunday at 9am...after convincing Nick to do it again before it gets too boggy. Feel free to join me if you want...it's a wicked ride with some tough climbs, little challenges and good descents, from flowy, rocky, gnarly, drops, jumps...it's wicked!
