Looks like it was a stunning day for a ride / take your bike for a walk.

Great day out. Couple of scary moments. Couple of lovely bikes. Good company. Lots of fun. What's not to like. We should do it again sometime.

Thanks chaps

You gotta respect the men that turned up on them though as some sections are challenging on an old bike to climb.

@iveto1983 crazily rode to the spot and back home - think he was at 55miles when he left us with maybe another 25-30 home - on a WTB phoenix

@longun picked a very unsuitable 88 Trekker which did amazingly well

@Markybeau had the narrowest bars known to man combined with a slightly compressed twitchy fork

And @Corduroyboy we agreed likely had the best suited bike to the job with a F8 RC200. However he then proved they crash spectacularly too.

Wasn’t intended as criticism, more jealousy. Previously done the ride (clockwise and anticlockwise). Even when I had some fitness, I was walking more than most others. Yesterday I was pleased I managed a 9k bimble with a heady 24m of climbing.

Don’t worry mate wasn’t taken as criticism at all.

(I can’t say much as I was on modern filth )
