Hi
We are organising a ride as a tribute to our friend Deejay.
It's on Sunday 14th July and we are setting off from the Dales Centre in Reeth at 10am
It will be a leisurely ride, approx 2.5hours but we are allowing 4 hours if that makes sense.

In true Deejay style though there is plenty of climbing!!!!
The plan is to meet Daves family at the top of Fremington Edge where his family will scatter his ashes., then descend back to the centre for refreshments if you wish.
Stu at the Dales Centre is organising a field adjacent to the river for parking so there will be plenty of room.
All welcome
Any questions give me a shout
Cheers
Steve

I will come over. May have to leave early(3ish), night shift at 6pm.

This is a really wired post. We were just discussing our holidays and a stop over in Osmotherly is on the cards as we head up to Hagerston. Last time I rode with DeeJay and his mates was when I was over there last year.

Any reasonably priced b&b's in the area if the Dales centre is full? Might not get there till 10pm 🙄

I'll be there. My brother who attended a few of the northern chapter routes may also be able to make it.

How long is the route? Still getting some of my fitness back after a spell off the bike.

We are aiming for about 2.5hrs, but allowing up to 4 to cover for eventualities. See the OP for more details if required.

Not going to make the ride after all. The logistics of working till 6pm today, a 3hr drive and then trying to get back home in time for night shift really is`nt feasible 🙄

Hope you all have a good ride...

Thanks to all who joined us on the Deejay memorial ride.
Great weather, dusty dry tails, lovely people and a tear or two for David.
A fitting send off.
