So what will you be doing on 21st December?

[Rob]

A couple of people have asked me, so let's do it again:

Winter Solstice Tan Hill Ride

Same format as last few years:
0700 start (tbc)
2 cafe strategy
145 miles Square to Square and more climbing than you can shake a stick at.
An hour's darkness at the start.
3h of dark at the end.
Back in York 1900-2000
Go/no go decision to be made on Thursday 18th (with regard to weather forecast; but will go for it unless its apocalyptic or dangerous)

Post if keen.

I'm in, gives me a reason to train and an excuse to eat lots in the following week!

What a quandary: Tan Hill in midwinter or birthday celebrations? Think, pause, think again, deliberate, deliberate. Oh dammit food and booze wins again. Have a good day, I intend to!

I might like to come along and do this providing I am actually back to York area by that date and am fit enough to do it.

I'm in too. I'm doing a 100+ mile ride in a couple of weeks, and providing that goes OK I'll be a definite.

Actually count me in, I just remember I finish college until next year on the 18th December:D and it seems like plenty of people will be doing this so it might be reallly good.

Count me in too please Rob
Cheers

Is the route similar to any of the rides held in the summer?

I forgot about darkness, I guess I'd need some real bright lights no? I bought some 35 quid ones but they are only good for city riding at night I think. Can see them flashing on signs in the city even with all the lights about 200-300meters away though.

I'll be with you in spirit but watching York U11s rugby vs Malton.....
