I'm still planning on coming up Mark. What are conditions looking like? Should I fit my Soft Conditions Panaracer Dart and bring some water-wings?

No worries fela if you can't make it. Mr Ship is a possible but can only do a few hours, so might change the route to suit him a little more.

Will be there now ,just got a swap although a shorter route would suit me (fat lazy b@st@rd) not been out for 5 wks now shifts and bikes in bits !! although the boulder is nearly ready !! have we got a start point and is it still 10-00 ?

Rode it last Sunday on single speed and conditions were ok. So long as the limestone is dry it's comfortably ridable. The DH course was quite demanding as it's a pretty technical bit of riding. Looking forward to it now, might get up early tomorrow and have another recce.

Should be able to make it tomorrow Forecast looking better too. Just need to get the bike sorted today. Full route it is then Mark

Looks much better! We'll try for the full route, but will gauge the speed of the group as we descend Farleton for Kirby Lonsdale. Would ideally like lunch at Kirby Lonsdale, but if not we can discuss other alternatives.

Going to try and get out this afternoon and test the conditions

Some pics from todays final recce. Looks like we are set for a great days riding, conditions are boggy in places, but all ridable and generally good.
