Morrisey the singer or Morrisey the consumer monkey? If the former, there's an infallible way of making sure you get the misery-guts off the stage at a reasonable hour; chuck a bottle at his head when you've had enough and hey-presto, goodnight Vienna!

I'd be throwing the bottle as soon as he appeared..... but each to his own

My Mancunian mate had a chance to be the drummer for the Smiths (before they made it big) but he turned it down because he would have found it hard to hold the sticks while throwing the bottles! ;)

(He was a drummer, and he did get the offer, but he couldn't stand Morrissey!)

And if you are coming along, you make sure you set two alarms for 07:00!

Will it's about 40 odd miles from Leeds to Settle so I would allow at least an hour and a half to get there. There won't be much traffic but the A65 can be slow going at times. (Same goes for my van)
So if I meet you at Kirkstall lights at just before 8 am we should have plenty of time to get there and sorted before the off.

I've moved to Meanwood since you last gave me a lift, if that will make any difference to plans. Would it be better to meet on the A660 for a (usually) better run up to Burley, unless you have any cunning plans for avoiding Ilkley?

It'd easier for me to pick you up in Meanwood so just let me know where is best. If Calum is coming I'll collect him first.

Ilkley should be OK early Sunday. Coming back would be the problem.

Stop being so utterly horrid to dear old Mozza! Just because he's one of the most interesting and intelligent artists of the last 30 years!! :tongue:

Let's invite him to come with us. If we can repair his punctured bicycle on a hillside desolate, we'll be able to discover if nature has made a man of him yet, won't we?

Just to confirm, unless hurricanes and tropical downpours are forecast, I am still planning to ride out to Settle* but leave you in Hawes.



* This means I will have my excuse for walking up to Dent station - extra distance ca. 45km before the start tired my legs ;)

. . . . . . . apart from shopping trips to town (5km round trip).

. . . . . . . . on your Miss Marple roadster ? :rolleyes: Is that the 'fixie' that we've heard so much about ? :biggrin:

Don't worry - I've only done one ride this week . . . . . . . Luckily it was 600km :biggrin:

That's all I need !!!

I'm going to travel 120 miles (by car) to the ride, just to be humiliated by some mega-fit slip of a girl :ohmy:

Oh, the shame ! At least no-one knows me up that way. :rolleyes:

Excuses already ?

I'll remember that, on the day ! ;)
