sunday the 28th of june, if that is ok with everyone.
i think that is where and when we decide it would be. 8)
shhhh, don't tell anyone! It's totally hush hush and on the QT [quoting Danny DeVito]
By a strange coincidence, the Bog Trotters are doing a ride from Settle the same day! So we can expect some overlap...
why for ❓
for why we all get sued to Kingdom Come is why
**** em. I'll be there barring some mechanical mishap.
my legal representatives have declined this as apparently it is JUST MADNESS to ride somewhere with other people.
PS I can no longer offer cakes at the end as again I dont have the requisite insurance or training so apologies to all
Good luck.
Do you own a hair net? Do the cakes have use by dates? If someone goes down with food poisoning post ride you'd be ****d junkyard!
It seems Tons the organiser any lawyers take note whose name should be on the lawsuit
🙂
That address in full:
Tom Bombadil
Withywindle
The Old Forest
Buckland
Middle Earth
If you have your solicitors number on speed dial you are not invited 🙂
Do we have a mileage and radometer technical-ness rating yet Ton? Junkyard will be needing the route asap for his risk assessment. Don't forget to go round and spray paint all the pointy rocks luminous orange beforehand Johnnie.
So does this mean I could come but Rich couldn't? he is an evil solicitor after all.
no bring him along he can counter sue everyone for harassment
😀
Ooh tricky one, will he sign a waiver?
Actually we'd have to pay him to draft a proper legally binding one first [b]then[/b] sign it
🙂
(I've nothing against solicitors BTW)
So does this mean I could come but Rich couldn't?
he can come just so long as you tell him no one will be paying for his opinions :o)
Eh Jonny you might get to play surgeon again!
I'm sure Jo did'nt need the kiss of life, it was only her knee after all 🙂
Are we taking in the walled BW's around Austwick? they are great when it's dry.
don't count me as a definite but a definite maybe depending on how I'm feeling, I do love riding in the Dales.
Are we taking in the walled BW's around Austwick?
I suggested Arncliffe Cote (the BW), Mastiles Lane and mebbe Threshfield Moor with Stockdale Lane to finish, which is all further east...
Is that [b]up[/b] mastilles lane? I have some unfinished business there!
Is that up mastilles lane?
it depends. I'd prefer to split off left and do Threshfield Moor & Winterburn Res followed by the climb to Weets and Smearbottoms Lane back onto Mastiles, but I'm not picking the route...
we will not be going near mastiles lane.....
i have a nice longish, not too technical route in mind. 😉

we don't want to tax the dear old chap...
Will we have to show some form of ID, so we can prove we are not under 16?
BTW, Junkyard we are up to Farleton Knott rather than Rivvy tomorrow night if your interested.
I did fleetingly think Jo was a kiddie (she's quite small) but many of the rest of us were near or past our "sell by" dates...

I might be interested as the official club ride is "getting lost round Dent" and no one from Lancaster may go... what time ?
I want to say yes but I'm flying off to the Alps on 2nd July so dont want to risk injury....till I get there anyway - will decide nearer time but really fancy it
Is this open to any STW bods? I'll be around with bike by end of the month.
danny, it is a good xc route mate, nowt daft n dangerous.
a good fitness builder...

except friggin Gibraltarians!
Just remember Simon, you are only as old as the woman you feel.
I knew I shouldn't have married an 80 year old
Probably 6 o'clock under the motorway bridge, near the farm. I'll confirm tomorrow.
It will only be a couple of hours or so.
Simon Ralli
oh yes matey....
Well I emigrate back to Blighty on Saturday and I'm a Scot don't forget and will be driving down from Dumfries.
And as of September you wont need to worry about me as I will be gracing my prescence on all the Dartmoor rides 😀

The good ladies of Arncliffe last year
that would be very nice indeed.............. 😆
you know she normally will if you call in.
Vortex probably cannot get there in time from mine as working late but enjoy
Mmmmmm cake!
Giggleswick pfff always makes me laugh 🙂
dawson close
isn't the bottom bit called Spittle Close ? I like that 🙂
Interesting route Tony, I've done all the bits but never in that order!
simon, it is a fun route.....some nice long downhills... 😀
it is a fun route
I wasn't questioning that 🙂
aaaahh but can you ride the up hills ton?
Ton - this looks a good route - I have done most of the trails, but like Simon, not in that order or even direction. You have managed to get Hawskwick Clowder in which is excellent - I have measured it up and it comes out at an appropriate 28 miles - so 28 on the 28th it is. 😀
When we rode the same route I think it came up just a whisker over 30 miles. A long ride, but a cracking day out.
Ton, I'll let you sort out the "interested " and "roll call" threads then. I simply cant afford the team of lawyers required for such responsibility.
Need an smbla leader & first aider?? Must try and get the day off for this one.
Working for the last one(and this one) but managed to do it the Fri beforehand.

excellent, a volunteer to be sued.
BC will pick up the tab. At least I think thats what I pay membership for 😕
