Throttled Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 .....I would like the option to do a shorter ride. As short as last year's? That was not optional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lateralus Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Are classes in Upskilling being offered on the Friday? Only classes offered this year are chain adjustment and cider drinking. I'd like to sign up to both please.I'd also heard there'd be one on fitting Scottoilers, which I'm very keen to attend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lateralus Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 @@Lateralus you could do an extended ride if you wanted.....then anyone that wants to carry on can go with you, and those that want to get back to the campsite can peel off at an agreed place?....... Well that's definitely an option, but I don't want to cause a rift!I have tweaked the Glossop loop to start/finish at the pub; 76 miles/2hrs 20mins in total, including Winnat's Pass, Snake Pass and a ride-by of Chatsworth House:https://www.motogoloco.com/map?route=39755It would also be easy to extend it from Rowsley, going down the B5056 to Fenny Bentley and back via Warslow and Longnor, making it 98 miles/3hours.So, about this drinking. Do you mostly bring your own and sit in the field, or do we prop up the pub's bar for the evening? The extended ride could also easily go to Carsington Water, for anyone needing the tag. Assume the Brierlow Bar Bookstore will be done when leaving or arriving, since it's literally 5 minutes up the road from the campsite!

These butane ones are very cheap and have always done the job for us. Not the smallest, but not heavy either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
