I will stick it up after the run mate. I don't like posting them up before hand as the route isn't set in stone and when I decide to reroute for whatever reason mid ride it has been known for someone with a sat nav to lead half the group off on a totally different route to the one I have taken....

There's no need to know the route tho, just follow the markers.

Aye, where'd ya go?
Thought we would see ya at the butty van in the Trough.

Who was at the front? Thought you were gonna ride over the Hardly rider when he boxed himself in behind the roadworks sign.

Nice pics BTW.

Hah!! T'was you!! We peeled off right in Slaidburn and over the fell road to High Bentham.....less traffic and better scenery than the trough (But keep it quiet) although you guys didn't seem so interested in scenery me tinks...

I was at the front, and yes the Harley rider deserved no sympathy for being a cock, and just for the record, I'm on nobblies....

Aye, we had already been over Lythe Fell. See the attached.
Was pretty quiet in the trough by then...
I take all the surroundings in, trust me.

No need for the record, I could see and you (should) have now't to prove.
Aye, he was enjoying a weekend wobble. Made me giggle.

the scenery was quite nice ta !
Not as pretty as on the correct side of the hills of course but quite pleasant none the less !

Just one thing I was curious about ?
the middle rider in your pack, stuck his hazzard lights on as I passed him ??
wass that all about ?
or has he seen me ride before !
