Right guys routes are provisionally planned. Well see how progress goes throughout the day as too how much we get done. There are unfortunately a few long road sections due too the distances between lanes but theyre still scenic and i promise the lanes are worth it.

How "adventurous" do you boys want too get?? There are 3 lanes a can miss out that i do regularly but one involves 2 river crossings and the other 2 have large stone steps. Easily avoidable so dnt worry if you dont want too do them. All the steps will be ridden :sign16:

And stalling busk may have too be avoided anyway if the rain is heavy due too rising water levels.

This is one of the stepped lanes we will be travelling down

These are the stone steps on sundays ride.

Like i say all easily avoidable, amd i do not mind in rhe slightest missing them out, but some people i take out want challenging lanes. The rest of the route as Arn can testify is less extreme.

Can be discussed sat morning over coffee and mc muffins ;-)

I'm sure I'll regret saying this but I'm comfortable doing steps and river crossing. Might as well learn how to do all this stuff while there are people around to help me pick my bike up.

Spoken like a true Adventurer matey good on you. If we get there and anyone isnt comfortable just lemme know. We can always turn around.

Not sure my old bones will handle some of that and I do have a habit of falling off , but never say never !!

No worries Mark. Daftest lanes ommitted. Tbh ive just checked and the weather looks a little damp so im going too leave out stalling busk. As the river level rises with not much rain fall.

Should be great weekend guys. Prepare for some spectacular sight seeing as well as awsome lanes.

Thank God! I was just trying to sound brave.

Honestly the guys i dont want too put anyone off my ride outs. Anything, anyone isnt 100% comfortable with can be avoided. Ill show you the best the dales has too offer. And ill help with techniques etc and if all else fails ill give you a push.

All i ask is you turn up and enjoy it. And if i drop my Tenere help me pick the fat ****** up haha :nana:

Ok fella's , on my way in about an hour , afraid I bottled the camping ( not as tough as StevieD ) will be staying at oak house B and B in Shaw , come over for a beer Saturday Steve if you can?
Cheers Mark

I dont blame you Mark. Weather isnt looking too great. But in our favour is that 90% of the route is rocky and stoney hardly any mud.

As the weather is so lousy I'm thinking of passing on this one as I'm also very busy and want to get to a meet in Holland in a couple of weeks time.
My current customer wants me to get the job done quickly so I'm gonna work the weekend to try and get up to date.
If Mark was camping then I would have definately camped as well but I'm not gonna camp by myself.
I did have a look at the B&B in shaw but at �160 for two nights that's a NO from me as I'm only half an hours ride away in any case.
I will see how I get on tomorrow morning and then see how things are, possibly get the B&B for Saturday evening so I can go for a few beers with Mark.
PS Just fitted new Mitas E07's, not even scrubbed in yet.
Mark if you can get this thread you can get me on 07752906130.

Cheers Steve
