I had meant start the ride at 9:30 or 10 but no worries, later is good.
If we start riding at 11, we'll be finishing riding about 2. I went up there the other day and clocked a record breaking slowest time (of anyone, ever, riding 15 miles) of 4 hours. I reckon it would take us about 3 since I know now how to to cut off a really depressing mile plus walk in the mud. The rest of it looked great, they've done so much work to it.
I'm pretty sure Mike is coming which means I have a lift and we can take one more. Rob? Want a lift from the roundabout near you?
We won't be able to stop at a cafe during the ride so stuff some sarnies in your pocket, but apres ride I believe I'm stopping at the fish and chip shop in Thornton-le-Dale for large cod and chips, minted mushy peas, apple pie and custard. Not that this is the focus of the day or anything.
I've invited another friend who's fantastic at photography and probably wouldn't mind snapping some shots. If anyones got a camera that they don't mind getting muddy bring it along.
With such a big group we could split into two for anyone who wanted to go off and loop a 6k black run bit.
