It was another good 'un :) albeit a rough one. Was good to meet AW hope to see you next week.

I now have most of a plan of a very cheeky circumnavigation of the three reservoirs. I may see if we can be guinea pigs over the next few weeks. It'll be good, some of it is even ridable

Good to be out and about as always.

AW, nice to meet you. Hopefully see you regular. I think 7:15 is the most common meeting time rather than 7. but showing up just after that is no issue either.

I'm off work next Monday but might be out for the night ride anyway, seeing that I'm moving house that weekend

Glad I finally got to join you all for a ride, it was great fun. Will try and be there again next week too.

Would be interested in doing the whole loop too Ian, if you are planning on doing it as a ride one day - i imagine it would be a bit epic for a Monday night.

Haha. I think Tuesday would deffo need to be a rest day if we are planing to ride it in a Monday night

I'm think it would be good to ride the whole thing on a special day. Prob too late to sort it as a shortest day / longest night ride?

I quite like the idea of reccying sections on Mondays then go for a big link up in the future. Could do with being a quiet day...

Oh and FAO: dave - Go Sky watch is the app you are looking for

Cheers Ian, that was ace

Usual Spot tonight then?
same Time? I can be half hour earlier if needed.

I could do earlier too. I'll text paul and see how he is fixed...

so 6:45 at the normal place for anyone else thinking of coming...

That was one of the best rides I have done for a long time, Ian you are a route genius. If we carry on doing rides like that I will soon be able to pedal and talk.

Cheers PaulIt is a cracker, one of my favourites. There's a couple of options for reducing the road content too. But they need a careful look first

It was a nice climb the other week but even better in descent :)

See y'all next week, Paul ill text you about the weekend

Do any of you have any gpx files of the routes youve been using? Im too overweight/unfit/unable to get there during the week due to work to join you lot at the moment, but id love to try some of the routes at my own leisurely pace. :D

Sent you a pm with route details etc.

Come along if you get the chance, I'm normally at the back on these rides and there is never any pressure to keep up etc, it a real friendly crowd.

absolutely, come along, all are welcome. We are riding high up, exposed and adventurous routes at night in winter - no one gets left behind! :) Although we are all daft, we are also a bit sensible when it comes to some things...

Cheers guys, what i may do, is ride some of the routes solo and see how i get on then maybe into next year ill try and get some early finishes from work! :D

just what ian and paul say. The more the merrier.

Who's out tomorrow then?

I should be but have the day off, I 'may' pop out in daylight hours too :)

I'm out as well.

Dave could you bring that frmebag for me to have a borrow of please?

Sorry Ian, I didnt see this post and totally forgot about it. Its chaos in my place at the moment with trying to pack up for the move on friday and it completely slipped my mind :(
I could try to get it to you in the week?

don't worry Dave there's no rush at all. next week, week after, whenever is all good.

Should be there at 7:15 if that's still the plan, will be doing the usual mad after school round up of kids etc but hope to be on time

Jolly good. see you there.

I'm out again this week I'm afraid-caught the kids stomach bug yesterday and have spent most of the day being sick... Hope to be in a fit state for next week!

urgh. Bad Luck pal.

(Though I have to say, my stomach feels like its going down a similar road at the moment)
