Hi guys what an epic ride, not done anything like that for some years now, looking forward to the next one although I fear it wont be to soon, I have a wedding to go to, any way I hope you like my pics of the day

Thanks for yesterday. You probably know that this ride has been a long term target, which the last year's rides all contributed towards. I'd like to do it again... very soon
Will do a quick recce of Robin Wood tomorrow to make sure it hasn't gone off in a sulk.

Next week's ride is down as Tuesday, and not as we supposed.

Still high on the Mynd.

ah yes, that's the problem with doing a big day out ride, the little ones you do locally feel a little insignificant afterwards

I've got a day off on the 16th with Simon - half tempted to go back to the Mynd

Robin Wood is extremely muddy no matter which route is chosen, so keep fingers crossed for dry weather for the next seven days.
Re. Tuesday night. Where and when?

 

[orange71]

thought we were recce'ing some of Sunday's ride?

That'll be Ticknall then ...at 7.00

Need to check mobile reception at the top and bottom of the long track.
