OK Mike, I'll buy you a bottle of water & a Coke & you can keep Tom company on the hill repeats.

i think the reliability now sounds less brutal!!

I'm just Boss, keen for a coffee! Cant wait, Sunday cant come quick enough! Will be great to ride with you all! Watch out for Mr Q putting the early door leg burn on!! ☺

Right, I'm liking the sound of "Alternative reliability ride" albeit with a slight bit of guilt that there should be some Nova representation at the Alba event.

I'll probably join you to East Witton and then head home as I need to finish painting the kitchen - (4 midnight finishes this week and still not there with fitters starting Monday)

Cheers Rob

This sounds like such fun! I shall endeavour to hang on!

What is exact route up to Ripon fellas? Just need to time my jump onto the train:)

[MikeHalmshaw]

Sounds like a cracking ride to join. Well, till Masham for me. It's been too long, see you all Sunday.

Niall says I'm allowed to come along. So you better all chuffin stop for a café at Kettlewell as that's where I'll be planning to reunite with the group after probably getting dropped up coverdale.... and I'm not taking any turns at the front - will just try to hang on...!

If you set off riding backwards from Ripon (I shall leave this to your interpretation, i know what riding backwards looks like in my head), and go littlethorpe, potteries, bishop monkton, burton leornard (ish) at about 9.15 we will cross paths.

the plan then is to go west tanfield to masham, then east witton and straight on to coverham where we join the valley road.
