There'll be almost 17 hours of daylight this weekend before the nights start drawing in *groan*

Have been roped into a 22-mile walk around the Peaks on Sat what will you folks be getting up to?

Wed evening riding 80km over to Rookhope and back.

On saturday I'm riding 400km to Edinburgh and back on the road. Forecast not so good for the weekend though, so it won't be quite as light as late as it will be tomorrow.

Hoping to do an extra long Pentland Hills ride on Friday night. Just keep riding until it gets dark I think.
Enjoy you ride mate.

If the forecast is anything like today's temperature (only a slightly mild 34C), then an evening/night ride might be just the ticket.

before the nights start drawing in *groan*

w00t \o/ ski season is on the way 🙂

BBQ Friday. Telegraph Valley then the slate quarries on Saturday. Big loop round Capel on Sunday.

Drum is a beast but its great especially when the ponies are out and about. I do like them wild ponies.

Well mindmap you got to try your new frame and bloody lovely it is too.

Patriotpro I only have 20 bottles. It's going to be messy. Really looking forward to some good riding coupled with traditional Scottish cuisine* and lots of beer.

Battered Mars bars and white pudding. Mmmmmmmm

Cheers I_Ache. I'm pretty pleased with it. Your new toy is riding nicely too.

I'm sure Scotland will be ace...I can't wait to get up there the week after next.

Forecast seems to have improved a bit which is good news. Bit more improvement and happy days!

It was pretty much 'who's making the most of the SW gale this weekend'... I did make it all the way to Eastbourne, and with me riding part of the the SDW the wrong way to find my buddies I finally clocked up 88 miles. Now I am tired.
