Ok guys the nights are drawing in and its going to be horrible winter soon, so I want to get as much riding in on dry tracks before then at least so I have some feel of the routes before doing them in the winter blind.

I'm thinking of a trip to the peaks again soon because I had a fantastic time there last time, and class it as the best ride we've everdone (In the last six months)

Not sure on dates yet, buts its possible I could do something in October, if not maybe November, I think late september may be a bit of a push time wise, but I shall check my diary and see when I'm definately free.

ANyone fancy it, doing jacobs on the way down this time? (please please and pretty please) :)

Everyone welcome!

Planning a weeknd riding myself though no chance until November for me

Might go Peaks, Coed Y Brenin or n Yorks, not sure yet. See what state the different places get into maybe

I'll keep an eye on your dates and you never know what might happen

lol ok ALan, well at this stasge november would be fine, hopefully it will give everyone long enough to book time off or get something sorted.

Should be a blast though

November in the peaks, I'll get my woolly hat out ;)

October is pretty tight with a trail building meeting and IMBA AGM and the birthday of a significant other all to be crammed in.

I'm crapping at picking dates so maybe if its best for all that are interested to put when they are free, or when they are not free.

Give us a better idea of when to plan for

Best weekends riding i have ever done!!

can't make a whole weekend but any saturday is ok for me

Well count me in, for Mid November area.

And Sprokkit just ring in sick LOL

We'll do the route we did on the saturday for sure.


Winter riding fun anyway ( as long as you've got lights )

lol, may not need to ring in sick if we run out of fuel.

we may need to RIDE to the Peaks when the cars become unuseable - they're not that far away!

;-)

I'm up for that, with no cars on the roads we'll just use the motorways LOL

A full days ride there and a full day to ride back no worries.

Sometime mid November sounds good to me

Weekend of the 19th? that'd midish enough?

I second the 19th

BB should be cheeper then, wouldn't recomend camping in November, for those that are to far to make a day trip, or want to make a weekend of it.

I'm up for a weekend, could do with a few days away

19th sounds good, might have some snow up there already for then :)

Be good to meet you Alan.

hang on November whats wrong with October ???


I was thinking Mid October guys

I am game for any weekend in october or november

rob

Yep the 19th November seems to be good for all of us then!

19th it is!

Well that was easy enough to organise! I'm doing good at this organising lark ;)

I suppose we have got the Lakes in October so thats fine.

Dylan, the route that Hobo is on about is that the route we have done b4, an the route that Sinhead had to turn back for as she was feeling unwell?
