Off for a Jodd- sun 25th September

[fossyant]

50/50 got this at the mo.

Cleaning out the garage on sat so will depend upon how I get on, but not done > 50 miles for a couple of weeks and not commuted to work this week so need a gentle ease back into the saddle.

Weather looking good.

I haven't done more than 40 miles this year in one go - and I did that about 4 weeks after my shoulder op (went out to Scout Moor wind farm). Most I do usually is 30 .

Ps I know about garage clearing, but you WILL get it done sat. Just think of all that extra bike fettling space.

Bike decision will be on the day, might be the blue/white, red or the green/white/red one PS don't follow the blue/white one in the sun - the back end and forks are chrome

I'm looking at linking up with Potsy at Timperley, joining the posse at Stockport, then I'll probably make my own way home from Jodd as the route back to Warrington is more sensible for me than going all back to Stockport.

Looking forward to it, and trying to get in some early morning training!

Will Potsy be there? Apparantly he has 'man-flu'!!!!

Hi there guys, we rode with you last year and was planning to do so again if you would put up with us. As it happens we are in the area but are doing the Cat & Fiddle hill climb, well at least Helen is, I have more sense! Unfortunately among the 12 women entered is the 2010 National Hill Climb Champion so it will be a battle for the second spot.
Before I noticed this ride organised I was going to ask if anyone in the area might come along and give some support. Sorry to miss your ride, oh well next time maybe. Good weather I think [as it was last year I seem to remember] for us all, have a good ride..

Good luck for the missus mate - the 2011 National is on Long Hill at the end of Oct - so might be another ride for us !!

Wish Helen well.

I've done enough TT hill climbs to hate them. Never felt so ill !

Remains to be seen if Potsy will confirm but I am planning to make it anyways...

Got my pass out for this one and might even bring a mate with me who is getting into cycling (rode a fifty with him last Sunday). See you all Sunday at Stockport station although i might bail out in Wilmslow on the way back.

If uploading the map to your Garmin, edit it in Mapsource and reduce the trackpoints ! Edit, track properties then filter !

Stu/Potsy-where in Timperley are you meeting up? If I can make it I will meet up there too.

 

[potsy]

Have suggested outside the library, probably 8ish.
ABout 7 miles to the meeting point.

 

[potsy]

Ok, as I am not 100% I will have a slow ride to Stockport in the morning and see how I feel from there.
If all is well I will do the ride as far as Tatton and peel off from there, should be about 50 miles all in.

Stu/400bhp I'll wait at the library til 8am if you are planning to meet up.

 

[Cyclist33]

See you at 8am, Potsy.

Stu

It looks like the weather will be okay for you - enjoy the ride, folks!

 

[Cyclist33]

Can someone PM me the route, please? Or post it in this thread?

Thanks

Stu
