Early morning ride 2nd October 2011

Up at 5.30 for an early morning ride to test my leg, only 4 miles but fun, started the ride from the car park on the road into harden from keighley then up to the quary by the guide pub (pity it wasn’t open that early) .

Good ride leg was fine only casualty was nik who managed to go over his handlebars.

Rides: Matthew, Nik and Antony (finally got him out) plus Bonnie the dog.

The alternative bike club

Went for a weekend away with the alternative bike club, this is a group of men who go away twice a year for a drinking (biking) weekend. This was the march outing and was at Sedbergh, this was a very wet weekend, I only managed the Saturday ride as I fell and injured myself luckily at the end.

Anyway had a great time and video of part of the road section can be found here

Norwood

Thank fully the Weather held out for our ride to Norwood on Saturday. It was not a route as we would normally do but more of a technical route. I got to say it was challenging shame it was not longer.

Then again we did take the red route, there was the option to take the black route or the double back route. But not been as experienced as some I did find the red route challenging enough.

I sure am looking forward to going back again. Next time am hoping to do better.

here is a short video of the fun we had

Ogden Reservoir Part 2

Well we did it again but making a few small changes to the route.

This time we started in howarth heading towards satires lane and along the water which brought up at the back of the windmills near Ogden we contained on towards the old roman road down into Ogden. From here we could follow the same route as we did the week before which took us in a circle so we could head back the way we came along the waterway and down satires lane.

I got to say we could not of picked a worst day for the weather as it was it throwing it down with rain. Even tho we were wet to the skin and frozen we really did enjoy are selves.
