Guest Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Blakeatron, i can come up through the lake road and meet up with you, need an idea on routes.. i've been biking the area since i was 17, when i worked in keswick, so if theres anywhere you fancy...?ohh just so you can get an idea of how long, i'm 35.. (yes, i know that's old..) Quote
blakeatron Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Saw matt the other day - didn't realise he was gone!Dave is back (for now!) and he has new friends including his brother.Sorry but my road knowledge/general geography is rubbish - I can easily get lost in asda... Dont mind where we go as long as it is a nice road (not too fast as I like my licence!), there is somewhere to stop for a cup of tea and we can do it in a day or less Quote
The Jade Mongoose Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 LOL i haven't moved to Scotland, I think Mr Walney meant he thinks I will be in Scotland that weekend!In actual fact i'll be in Lincoln that weekend - but rest assured I still live in Kendal! Quote
jimsoon Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 I'll make it I think, any one out before then? Quote
