I'm off next Sunday Dave.  How about doing jacobs in reverse for something different? Only 16 mile but some tough bastard climbs that way round, though there are some sweet tech descents too such as the long section of rock steps along rushup edge, then some more towards the river crossing bit, finishing with jacobs itself, steeeeep and then looooose!!

.............Dan?

Doubt Den will be coming, working weekends for next few weeks to pay for the orange rebuild.

Count me in for that one, I've never done the Jacobs one either way round. Steep and loose sounds great after my training today
