well, never reckoned the the wolds to be to so dramatic and sun-drenched!

Thanks to chris and ben for the creation and guidance in this area.

Sunday, i should be snoozing but, gotta get some riding done and what a fantastic route with a warm, dry(ish) day to get us rolling. We certainly had a laugh and tested our unfit bodies. some mechanical failures with longun's tyre shed episode so early in the ride! A-TEAM style he was cruising the wolds once more and just about made the ride.

Well done rich(ringo) some climbs were beastly and you did very well.


more later....


slap your reparte and pics here. cheers.

the music and sacrificial ceremonies in the village was interesting and non-cake sharing but, had a nice beer garden.

only a couple of vids are any good, unfortunately its gonna take 40 mins to upload a 1m10s video!!!!!! and ideas??


great ride again, thanks to chris and ben for organizing a cool ride with plenty of rolling trails and some fast descents. and thank you to everyone for wicked company and helping patch old amberwalls.........lessons learned today :oops:
 
Big thanks to everyone for turning up, any route can be fun with the right company and as always there was a great selection of bikes to look at!

I'll pop my very poor selection of pics up in a min now the site seems to be working again.

Chris are the vids any good or can't you view them without uploading them 1st?
 
Great ride, cheers Chris and Ben and everyone else who made it, I will post some pics later

Thanks

Stuart :D
 
Ditto, I have already thanked Chris and Ben (Indirectly) for organising this one, yet another fine day out with a good bunch of guys. I have to say that this is becoming something to look forward to, more for the crack than the biking ;-) My legs are shot for a few days I reckon. Also a big thank you to the chap who threw me a spare tube when I got a puncture, the tyres Chris sold me were clearly not up to the job ;-) Can't remember for the life of me who passed the spare tube, I owe you one all the same.

A few tumbles, one puncture, one shredded old and tired tyre and many laughs were had and I had a nice 'Dettol Bath' when I got home to ease the nettle stings on my tired old legs.

Here's to the next one... keep 'em coming Chris and Ben.

A few rubbish phone snaps below:

Great day and stunning scenery...

Was OK till we stopped in that Village then I kind of seized up!

Anyway, you were all great, and as an incentive to those who would like to come along but fear their fitness and the length of the ride - don't worry, you will be in good hands and someone will look out for you!

Anyway here's my pics...

Food stop...

All in all a great day, only improved by an impromptu call into the McDonalds on the A64 on the way home!

see y'all soon!
 
Looks like a good ride, gutted I missed out on it.

Any more rides lined up for this month?
