Not sure really, whenever I can be bothered to haul myself out of bed? Shall we say 9am outside the cafe at the trail centre? I can make my way there easy enough.

It means I can have a brew before we begin  I'll be riding up so I may be a few minutes late depending on walker traffic. |

You staying at the Prem Inn tonight and biking up in the morning? Indeed I am, not entirely sure how to get to the centre from the Prem Inn, but I'll give it a shot. |

To be fair mate, you'd be better off riding up with me. Give me a couple of hours to fit my bearings and check some maps and I'll find somewhere easy to get to from the Premier Inn to meet you. I think Love Lane is probably ideal but I'll check and let you know. |

I've fitted all new bearings today so, if the back of my bike becomes detached from the front whilst riding tomorrow, I know i've done something a bit wrong.

Were the bearings shagged mate, you've not had the mega that long The one of them was.. It was making a bloody awful cracking noise everytime it moved. I thought whilst I was changing one I might aswell do them all. |

Also, I've made it to Rugeley! The BBC say it won't be a bad day tomorrow. Not exactly tropical but not a massive amount of rain or wind.. Fingers crossed! |

It definitely was! just a smidge over 30 miles in total. My legs are shot, so you'll have to forgive any slow going from me!

Well I thought I'll post some stuff from my outing with Beans and Malamute. Just a smidge over 30 miles. Beans had a little more on, but given that's close to 8 miles more than I've actually cycled before I'm damn chuffed. But anyway, had a quick visit to Stile Cop, only did the Red run before the cramp finally set in: And finally a gay pint of cider:  |
