Yeah, great ride and thanks for the great route and navigation.
We got back a bit knackered with all our food scoffed off. Since getting home I've eaten half a freezer of sausage and chips!
PS He's telling the truth about the mudguard. When we were almost back Glynn (furtively) retrieved it from behind the tree where he'd left it and we rode separately back to the cars.

It was warm and sunny and everyone we met was in a good mood. It doesn't get much better.

Quality pics as usual Glynn . I would have been fine leaving my mudguard on . From the sounds of it I would've been riding on my own way back in the distance anyway

heres the route gaz.obviously ignore the long straight line. my device didn't reset at the start of the ride.it was 18 miles,2800 ft of climbing,also theres some cheeky bits, so advised not to do it on a busy day.we did it in an anti clockwise direction....enjoy! also if you hover over the small box on the r/hand side of the page, you can view it in different map formats. andy let me know if you havnt received the email with the photos. I had problems sending them last night. www.gpsies.com/map.do?fileId=vuzcxaipvxaqcaoz also if you click on 'my tracks' top r/hand corner theres a few more routes.iv only recently started uploading to this site.

From the sounds of it I would've been riding on my own way back in the distance anyway By way of explanation, Glynn had only just fitted his new mudguard with the bike static. When he got on it the suspension compressed so that the edge just caught the tyre and buzzed. After an attempt to adjust it we realised that it might as well come off while we were still near home.
It wasn't till we nearly home and collecting it from behind the tree that Glynn realised we could get some mileage out of the story.
