Happy to meet POW, but is it 8 or 8.30?
I won't be out for 90 miles so will peel off somewhere. If we head towards Masham on Richard's route then I'll probably have coffee and head back.

Put my post up and didn't read Ricky P's plans.... Keen for us to combine and get a good group together. Can we all arrange to combine for 8.30?

Hi guys

Looking forward to the ride on saturday...its been a while!!

Anyway, for clarity, lets meet at 8:30 POW as per your normal agenda. I personally fancy a route north towards Richmond, (as per my garmin link) as i have been that way abit over the last few weeks and want to explore some new riding!?, Richmond will also fill me with fond memories of our MTB c2c adventure!

I am going to look at the route again, and replot to see if i can make it slightly shorter, hillier on the way out perhaps, but with plenty of flat fast riding on the way back chain gang style....abit like that great day in Majorca!? Plenty of things to look at on route, i will consult the tea room oracle.... aka my wife! to see if i can find a hidden gem of a tea room to stop at. Looking forward to our leisurely saunter!!

ps. I'm thinking up some penalties for anyone that starts half wheeling or contesting KOMs on climbs!? be warned!

[BigMike]

whatever you do though Rich, you know KOM always comes out on a Nova ride....... i think youre still bitter from majorca when you gave everyone a spanking on a certain mountain only to find out it wasnt the right KOM mountain stage.............I can still see the total look of disbelief/distress
