I'd go to Calderdale because I've never been, but I've also not ridden for 3 months, so actually somewhere flat...

Dunno but its going to be a wet one where ever.

If you opt for Macc or The Peak I might join you if you fancy company?

I'm ill, otherwise I'd be very keen. Available next week though if you fancy a ride? Weather might be a bit better too.

Shut up you girl. What's wrong with you?? You'll get picked up and dropped off and guided round hebden bridge's finest. You will probably also get some free jelly babies. Again.

Carlos - what's your thoughts? I rode Macc Forest on Sunday and it was great so wouldn't mind playing up there again.

Not fussed to be honest, did have a 30 mile ride planned round The Peak, taking in some of the finest cheeky (imo) but with the weather forecast for tomorrow it could be a tad damp.

I'm easy though, Peak or Forest everywhere's gonna be wet

Name the start and I'll be there or mail (in profile) me

I dunno - maybe start in HB at Stubbing Wharf and do a clover leaf up and down the hills

Carlos - a 30 miler would kill me right now I'm afraid. I'll email you though

I've not been out since the frost, everywhere local to me - peaks/macc etc is a swamp. Even our jump spot has collapsed now 🙁

Who edited my post? That was two separate posts not one

Finish at 12:30 latest, could drive straight there for 1:15 but would need lunch so 2pm would be better

Of course we may finish earlier but couldn't guarantee it

Calderdale is a bit of a mess.

Ok in the trees, muddy and flooded.
Tops are a bit grim.
Most non muddy downhills are just a torrent.

Went for a walk earlier, just up to Hurstwood.
Trails ok but Foxstones top end was a bit rough.

I've got the cold of doom + start shivering even if I go out to get logs from the barn... If I don't get any better by next week I'll come riding anyway.
