Lovely shot Chris. You've even got The Wrekin in the far distance.

Thanks Rob. Your local geography is much better than mine, we couldn't work out what that hill was.

Re:

I didn't think I'd be able to make it this year, but it's starting to look like I can.

Rob, obviously I'll confirm definitely one way or t'other next week.

Hopefully see you all there.

Matt.

Re:

I hope to attend and do my first ride along with the wife. I am going to retrieve my old DiamondBack ascent ex from my brothers garage which I bought in New Zealand second hand in 1993. It is a splatter green colour and has not been ridden for quite awhile. My wife will be riding an early 1990's Marin Pine Mouitain, a recent purchase on gum tree.

Absolutely gutted, but I'm not going to be able to make it this time :cry: always a been highlight of the year for me too.

Have a great ride, can pretty much guarantee you'll have sunshine and clear skies, for which I will take full credit!

 

[rc200ti]

Sorry you can't make this Pete you'll be missed...for many reasons.
Hope to see you Matt.

[legrandefromage]

can anyone tell me what sort of bicycle would be best?

You can chose from:

An unfinished untried E-stay

Dawes Cougar

Zaskar

Norman Fay tourer (that'll be fun!)

Raleigh Blueridge

Raleigh Montage

The Green One

 

[elPedro666]

Thanks Rob, that's very kind, hope to catch up somewhere along the trail soon!

lgf, the evil in me says Norman, but maybe the Blueridge? Greenie and the estay I'd like to see, so maybe save their annual airing for another trip!

 

[rc200ti]

Lgf Doesn't need to be particularly chuckable. Could do with some lowish gearing. DOES need brakes.

 

[MiniNinjaRob]

MINININJAROB IS BACK!

Barring any unforeseen stuff happening between now and then, I'll be there.

5hr round trip? Easy!

Loads of stuff to sell - check!
