Anyone else ? Nice hilly route taking in the magnificent Ribblehead
Viaduct and the slightly less magnificent Tan Hill Inn. I might take my
camera and snap some randoneurs passing these landmarks

Oooh, I'd better put my best kit on then... ;- )

I'll be there, * if * Saturdays jaunt to Stamford and back goes
according to plan, I've
already warned Mike that I'd be entering on the line.
I can't see me going round too quickly so you might just have some
extra company.
I'll be realistic for once a hope to get round in sub 10hrs instead of
the usual sub 8.5 hr thrash; may even have a cafe stop, usually treat
this ride like a perm and use shop stops at Leyburn & Kirby Stephen

Not this year; I'm busy at work, did the Mildenhall 300 on Sat and have
a 200 the following weekend, and need to get ready to fly off to France
a few days later (two weeks' cycling). Don't want to end up overtaxing
my poor body

Ah, so I guess I won't see much more of you than your back wheel
dissapearing into the distance as usual then, Andy! I think it may take
me rather longer than that!

Took me 10h31 last year and that was with a few stops, one of which I
hope not to have to repeat this year.

Google for some reason thinks you were replying to my post. "Back
wheel
disappearing into the distance" soon set me straight though!

I'm off walking that day. One to note for next year though. Looks a nice
ride.

Also think about The Other Fleet Moss Randonee for next year. Closer
for you, Halifax-Wharfedale-Fleet Moss-Hawes-Ribblehead-
Settle-Whalley-Halifax.
