    How Do You Like Your Ribs? Seems I Like Mine Fractured.

    No wounds lately but I've fractured ribs twice, once fencing epee when I was at uni and once on a retrobike ride in the peaks. It was really a ball ache trying to take a full breath. The last time it was on the part of my chest where your seatbelt rests against it when you are in a car and that...

    So I'm having to drop out, hopefully I'll be able to make the next ride.

    Retrobike National MTB Rd 7: Lake District ~ 05/10/14

    Re: I'll be there if I can get there. If it's same route as last time it'll be a great ride and it's best time of year to go to the Lake District.

    Re: RetroBike National Series Rd 6: Peak District ~ 06/09/14 It was lovely and sunny at about quarter to six when I was leaving on the train! You could see right up Edale Cross ridge where we started the ride... Back safe at my mates lancashire palace now, bike washed but my thigh hurts from...

    RetroBike National MTB Rd 6: Peak District ~ 06/09/14

    Re: There's a programme on BBC 4 right now about the Peak District National Park, a lot of it's at Chapel Gate and there's some people having their sandwiches at Pindale Rake where- in prior years- we did the dread hill climb challenge. About the cost of Laneside camping site, I'm sure I was...

    Tour de France in Yorkshire... who's going?

    Re: Were I to have had any doubts about missing out they were dispelled when I got to Leeds City Station to leave town weekend and who should be climbing off the London train, being greeted by a crowd of Tour volunteers and a camera crew... Well I wasn't really sure who, he looked like...

    Rolf Harris found guilty

    I don't know why rape cases seem to accept such a low burden of proof, if it was any other kind of crime the CPS would have told the Police to Foxtrot Oscar and not waste public funds. I didn't think his accusers claims were credible, one of them ended up knocking boots with him [By choice] for...

    Tour de France in Yorkshire... who's going?

    Re: Am I ball-cocks! It goes through my town and up my High St barely yards from my front door. They are anticipating- I quote- 9,999 people in a holding pen behind the Town Hall with live music from 11 am until brain haemourage time. Because of the anticipated influx of grockles our...

    Temple newsam featuring bygone bykes 3/5/2014

    Bawls! Did you mention this last year Marc and I said "Oh that sounds good, I'll keep that day free"? Well I haven't, there's a tour of the remains of the Navvies settlements at Ribblehead and we're all set for doing that. Sorry!

    3 Peaks of Yorkshire, Help!

    I doubt you will encounter much difficulty. Unclejack is quite right, trespass is a civil offence, not a criminal one, so a landowner could bleat all they like about getting you arrested but the Police would just tell him- or her- to "Speak to the hand!" If they want to prosecute you the...
