Is there going to be an off road ride at this bash?

Right then, i did a recce today for an off road ride at the bash, ill be happy to lead, but remember i aint led a ride before so you will have to bear with me. (having said that i didnt get lost today !)
Okay i set off from Broseley and headed towards Craven Arms, distance of about 40 miles, taking in 12 totaly legal byways (BOATS), there is a good cafe at Craven Arms for a sandwich and tea stop , and then did the same route in reverse, total 80 miles, now ime open to suggestions if people dont fancy doing the same lanes in reverse, there are more lanes south of Craven Arms heading towards Leintwardine but i think this would add a fair few miles on to the day to take these in, which would probably mean that we would have to do a quick blast back via A roads on the way back, so as to not get caught out on the trails in the dark.
I did the recce on an X Challenge and all lanes were easily doable, there was only one which i thought may be tricky on an 1100 / 1150 / 1200 size bike and that was an uphill lane with some stoney steps from the village of Hungerford, if anyone has done this lane on a big bike then let us know and we can include it in the run, i must admit it was one of the nicer lanes to ride.
Well let me know what you think, if anyone has any ideas to change any of the above ime open to suggestions, so whose up for it.
If you can add your names to the list below with what bike you will be riding it will give me an idea of numbers.
FERRET X challenge
Sorry chaps but I cant do a recce now. off for a few weeks in the morning with work but hopefully back for the event.
Happy new year to you all.
i thought everyone had decided not to venture out on the off road ride, ime fine with the harder stuff , i was more concerned with different skills levels, if your happy to do the one i thought might be trickie ime happy, i think its best to see who is up for the ride and go with what everyone is happy with, great to have you on board , see you end of January, ime hoping to get ot again before the bash to recce the route again , hopefully it will have thawed a bit
Come on everyone get your name down
