Well the preparation wasn't perfect, A McDonalds Tea last night, followed by a bottle of Wine (or 2 
)
A late night and up at 04:30 with the youngest - Met up with @Martin Archer at 08:30 and we set off to Ripponden, through Rochdale, a slight detour around Hollingworth lake then over the tops to Ripponden. This was a very long climb. But we made it! Martin a little easier than me! into Ripponden then turned round and come back. It was harder coming back! i nearly run out of gas. but a great ride non the less and a huge achievement for me! so cheers Martin, i would of turned back if i was on my own!
So a lesson learnt, Prepare better next run out!
