Hodgy that's not bad you about a foot taller than Gaz aren't you?
I think we should make a deal to end this I'm not fit malarkey, if we both (anybody else for that matte) complete Glynns rock ard rock challenge then no longer can we mention again that our fitness level is generally anywhere near approaching poor or worse.

I'll be happy if I get back to the car after the ride, looking forward to cake and a hot chocolate afterwards will keep me going. |

Looking like a good turnout, let's hope the weather stays fine. Cold and bright will do for me

Definitely a good 99% sure now. All sorted with the Mrs and kiddies.
I had a run out on Monday and felt okay ish. Gym this morning and a steady 15 miles my knees were killing me yesterday from Monday still but seem okay today. Going to rest tomorrow so should be fine.
It's 1 45 hours from mcdonalds to Reeth. So should we meet at 7.30 to allow 15 minutes for getting sorted?
We are meeting at 9.30 aren't we and riding by 10.00am?

I think you are handy for the a1 roundie aren't you from your neck of the woods. It's slow roads after skipton only 54 miles from my house but an 1hr 50 minutes. The last 35 miles takes an hour and quarter.

I am very jealous now, I had bought new 5.10,s, a camelbak nv mule for a big ride like this and sorted a jacket for winter riding. Mummy was very generous this Xmas. Mule has been packed ready since last weekend and car goes pop but there is always next time.(crosses everything)
