Rides @ Dent 2016

[haditlowered]

I enjoyed showing people the lesser known parts of the north last year so will offer it again.
Will plan a long ride for the Saturday and a shorter for Sunday.
Some easy GS friendly offroad will be included.
Paul.

Are you still planning a Saturday ride Paul.

[paul nicholls]

Yes. Would you like some off road to be included?

you know me... i like a bit of off road... Last years ride was brilliant - aside from the pannier flying off in the forest of course, but all in a days ride.

It was a great ride with good company, forgot about the pannier falling off.
Andy and I are formulating a cunning plan for the day.

Now that's an impressive crash. How long did it take them to dig you out?

So, Rides will be -

Magnet & HTCat - leading and tailending - Sat to Dales

HTCat & Magnet - leading and tailending - Sunday to Northern Dales & Pennines

Paul Nichols - Sat & Sun

Myself - similar route as last year - Sat

Any other leaders want to lead?


Or you can do your own thing

Are you ignoring our Sunday ride to the Northern Dales? HTC and Magnet with roles reversed.

[JohnnyBoxer]

No, sorry I'll amend it

(All done)

My ride choice will be at very short notice, depending on my state of compos mentisness (if there's such a word) when I arise from my pit.

Going up Tuesday to do a final recce/sort out cafes etc. Forecast looks a bit damp and cool to say the least

Do we have a start time ? And as I recall petrol is not exactly oa cross the road iirc. Can we arrive and ride on a half tank without upsetting ride captain...😇

Camp site or Dent village car park opposite the school

Nothing fixed yet until after the recce, when i know how long it will take, but will probably be in the region of 9.30 - 10am.

Nearest petrol is at Sedburgh, so I suggest coming in that way and filling up. However, my route goes through Kirkby Stephen fairly early on and there is petrol there if anyone doesn't start with 'a full tank and an empty bladder' (copyright Micky).

Oh, and the road captain is highly strung, don't do anything to upset her

HTCat & Magnet - leading and tailending - Sunday to Northern Dales & Pennines
