Before replying I checked the weather forecast!! Seems dry and clear, about 10 degrees with very light winds so fingers crossed I might show my face

Are we all just planning a meet, or does anyone fancy a little ride out around the dales.
We could do...

Devils > Sedbergh > Hawes > Aysgarth > Kettlewell > Skipton

I realise this would leave some folks with a fair journey back up to Devils if they live in the Lakes area


Any other suggestions

One of my favourite routes is bradford to hawes i have various routes to get there but i always get to the b6160 head to kettlewell to buckden turn left on the unclassified road to hubberholme oughtershaw then to hawes bringing you into the village just below the petrol station.This road is VERY demanding but sooooo suits the TDM

Know that road well, from Buckden along the source of the river Wharfe.

Must say my favourite road round here is from settle to Hawes though, especially the bit from Horton to Ribblehead. Looing forward to meeting you guys. This bike Im getting on Friday hasnt been out since JUne and Im a litle concerned about the tyres. I presume whatever is on there is standard fit and i think teh were Metzlers of some flavour. Anyone know what they're likely to be and are they any good?
