peak ITT group ride 15th August

[ianfitz]

I've been a bit slack in doing anything about this!

But I suggest a group ride starting at 10am on Saturday 15th August. Starting under the railway bridge in Edale. I'll be riding but will be doing it with a bivy as riding the Borders 350 two weeks after

Who's in?...

[Mike]

Damn it got excited then but just looked on calendar and I'm working that saturday night :0(

[DrMekon]

I'm trying to get a pass from family duties for this.

[atk]

Popped this in the calendar. It's a bit of a busy weekend (wedding reception the night before... and heading away the weekend after). Should make the start but might be there with a plan to bail after the top "loop"...

[captainbedwell]

Depends what day I get back from France...but probably in

[Blackhound]

Hoping to ride over the summer but unable to make that weekend as off to see Sir Wiggo and chums ride round in circles at the new Derby velodrome.

Fitzy!

Would love to but will be recuperating beside the pool in Nice (fingers crossed!)

You can track my progress via the Spot tracker which I am borrowing from, er........you!

I will however, think of you all and may even raise a glass of something in your general direction as long as someone brings a glass of something to me as I don't think my legs will be working by that point!

Sorry I keep missing your calls - will get there in the end

Doing the Aggregate 100 'Grinduro' with Emma Outlson on Sunday (who you met with at the recent YD300) and will drop round the CX wheels on Monday!

Nice one Pete. I'll dig the bits out. Also need to tell you how to change the custom messages and who they get sent to...

[ianfitz]

two weeks away now...

I'm planning on a trip round with a bivy as prep for Rays B350 at the end of the month.

Who else will be there?

10am start under the railway bridge...

[ZeroDarkBivi]

I'm keen, but it will depend on a few other things falling into place by then. I'm not familiar with the area; what's the GR for the start?

[ianfitz]

The start is at Edale. The station is at SK123853. There's a car park on either side of it. The start will be from under the railway bridge

[Richpips]

We're a maybe.

Hoping to be there, any chance of a 9am start? Just need to mention it to the OH to. Get the ok, but a weekend away this weekend should oil the wheels a little.....

I'm easy, if others are OK with 9 then lets do it. Shout up if an earlier start is not going to work for you.

[Richpips]

Yep, I'm fine with 9.

[ianfitz]

Yep, I'm fine with 9.

Ace. Will you be on big red? keen to have a gander!

[Richpips]

Yes, all being well will be there on the tandem.

Ian, sorry mate, looks like I am going to have to postpone. Have had a stomach bug for a few days and couldn't ride 20km at the moment let alone 200km. Have a good one!

[ZeroDarkBivi]

Where are the travellers Kipling down on Friday night? Not looking great weather for camping!

sorry to hear that. I had a cracker myself a couple of months back and still remember it! take it easy. the route isn't going anywhere.

I'll see who ever turns up at 9 on saturday. Hopefully the impressive weather system showing on my forecast will have passed over by then!

[FLV]

mmm, gratton dale in the wet...

I've got my boys over this weekend so I'm in the 'maybe later in the year' camp.

Have fun out there, wave when you pass glossop

[ianfitz]

Well, it's dawned a lovely sunny day this morning. The forecast was spot on.

Going to finish breakfast put on some SP20 and peddle over to the station.

Yep, Me and Mark, Sorry not to stop but we were against the clock, at that point anyway! We were the only starters! unless some other started at 10...

We decided that 150km was enough really as we are both starting the Rays B350 in two weeks time. So home for some decent rest.

the Peak ITT remain statisically the toughest of all documented ITT routes with a 0% finishing rate!

[FLV]

Didn't someone do it last month? You I thought ian?
