Meet points tomorrow are;
POW 10:30, empress rbout 10:35, texaco 10;50.
Aim is to head off on roads I've not done much on before and then up and over moors, we can make it up as we go depending on legs but if tomorrow is looking good may want a longer one tomorrow and a shorter day on Sunday! I have a plan of sorts and a map and that is all that matters...just as long as we make the charity shops before nighfalll! See you tomorrow, exciting!

Many thanks to Rich for organising the weekend and the route.
Really good weekend had by all; Quite roads, great cycling and good weather, although I did get the chance to finally test my jacket cycling home from Harrogate. Good to see Paul had the bottle to go for the 'charity shop' option regarding clothing, that would have been interesting if Sainsbury's weren't open! I'm looking forward to a re-match for the Dalby forest sprint, next time....

We'll have to do the West coast next time or the Lakes prehaps.

Gents, a great weekend thank you. Rich, great routes & the YHA was really good. All credit to Rich, Pete, Sam & Andy for carrying rucksacks over 95 hilly miles on the way there, particularly Sam & Andy who seemed to have packed most of their wardrobe including the wardrobe!I'm still disappointed that despite all the rhetoric, you didn't take your chances with the Whitby charity shops !! Thank goodness for Sainsburys, that's all I can say! The way home was an epic into that head wind, 83 miles of through and off - my legs are still hurting!
Til the next next one.... cheers, Paul.
