Not sure of my plans for Saturday as yet, as i may be heading up to see Rick A. If i'm not going ooop north, i'll likely fancy hooking up with Flipfly's ride, as it was rather good last year.
Oh, and if there are too many peeps wanting to ride, i can lead a spin up to west Yorks for a mixed grill run on some rather cracking moorland roads, as an alternative.

I'll be joining the masses for the bimble, if there's still room or if not ------ any bimble will suffice 
Denise and I too please Phil, two bikes if there's room.

There is some concern about bimble numbers. Trust me we will be fine and can lead any size of march across the moors
Chances are we'll be no more than 2 groups of 10 tops by the time hangovers have taken effect and the weather is either too wet, too warm or just too much like weather.
The drop off system allows for a decent size group to spread over a distance so don't stress about numbers. Most of the ride should be reasonably unpopulated anyway.

Last year was about 10 or 12 per group. Loads of opportunity for those inclined to do rideout this year. All you need to do is turn up, fully fuelled for 120ish miles of gorgeous roads. 
Julie and I rode 20 miles of it Sunday in that fine rain that soaks you through. The rest wall to wall Sunshine. Look forward to meeting some new folk this weekend.
If anyone arrives early enough on Friday happy to do a run around local from 12ish. Couple of hours int Peak. Need to leave at 4ish to nip home for me Julie.
Post on here if you do.

I have just uploaded it. Worryingly, it seemed to upload with no troubles at all...
Yeah, that'll definately be wrong.
Miff, usually a worrying thought when it goes so well
It has been written in mapsource, Phil added a couple of lanes in Basecamp. I have run it in January and in two halves from my end. Then one full run last Sunday from Bills. Glance regularly when there are lots of lanes together keeps you on track. Runs like shit through a goose.
Joe look for a larger than your average tosser ,R1200gs adv and the most faded orange tent you have seen won't be far away
All packed for me and the Mrs just need to lob it all on and

I'm on a blue/white 1150.
Also I might still be inflating my and Julie's Synmat with the one hand stops air other one pumps, without my Carer with me I might well be cursing and swearing profusely . See you on the morrow.
What time are you expecting to leave on Saturday morning? Denise and I can't make Friday night.
