seatoller, I know it well. Actually I don't but I remember it from the whitton ride, you go through this small innocent looking road that looks like a driveway between two houses and suddenly you see it, Honister pass, rearing up in front of you like Carl at an all night meating.

Lindi - Livin' the dream :-)

Ooo it's that cutie in the hat again ;-)

Would love to come along, but need to recover from IMUK first and might be tied up with training for a wobble in the Yukon early next year, but if the date fits in, count me in for sure

Bouncing Barlist

8ugger orf.

Bouncing Barlist

Still remember when our first meating and you said, oh your using my training bike bot realising I had my bike in the back.. My car is a Tardis. Though a very stationary one at the mo... just you wait till ive got my new motor.

candy ollier

why not have it in yorkshire? then we can swim in monique's lake (not in the biblical sense) and do a route including Holme Moss which is a hill and a half. well actually its only one hill, but its a big one.

candy ollier

lol barlist yes i remember that. your bike was bigger than the car, it was weeeeeiiirrrrdddd. and then you had 16 punctures in the space of 2 miles.

[Deleted User]

the biblical sense?

is this similar to "knowing" someone in the biblical sense?

i was clearly misbehaving in that bit of sunday school...

Bouncing Barlist

Actually your loop would be pretty good training for Germany, ill need to find what pace I can hold on the flat for 112 miles so I dont self combust.

candy ollier

if you want to do it barlist, you're most welcome. only not now as i havent got any bikes!

[Deleted User]

Mr Smith, Sir....
definately on the mend, but I am bored senseless. Apparently I have only got another 3 weeks to go before the pain subsides and then hopefully I will be back on the bike and doing a bit of running at the start of Oct. I dont reccommend falling off your bike to anyone....:0)

AndrewSmith

Theres a pool here, I will give them a ring and see if they do private lane hire.

a bit cleaner than moniques lake

AndrewSmith

Mr Welshman glad to hear it, and you may be able to recommend some places in welshland. Do they have swimming pools?

Donald

You can find swimming pools world wide here....

Iron Mike

I would be up for a training ride or two in the coming months as well. Just back from ibiza and feeling rather fat and useless after a week on the beers. I was thinking of doing some of the cyclosportives next year depending on how they fit into the training schedule. I am very turned on by the thought of doing the stage of the tour-if its ax3 domaines or something that they do next year then germany will seem like a breeze in comparison! Our oxfordshire bike ride is a pretty good one i think.

cougie

I'm interested !

If you do want to do the Holme Moss area - we could stay here :

http://www.yha.org.uk/hostel/hostelpages/159c.html

(we could book the whole hostel til 18th march )

Swim here : http://www.highpeak.gov.uk/leisure/glossopPool/times.asp#saturday
(they hire the pool out on a saturdday night from 6 to 8)

And ride here :

http://www.bravenewworld.demon.co.uk/writing/holmemoss/

So maybe - we travel on the friday to get there -

Saturday - spin on the bikes in the morning, maybe a little run in the afternoon. Saturday evening in the pool, then off to find a nice meal somewhere ?
Sunday - long bike ride ?

These are just the first things google threw at me though - I'm sure theres a perfect YHA out there somewhere ?

[Deleted User]

Carl, I like your optimism about fitting a bike in my car.

It's a Smart.

debbo

Norma - you could get one of those tiny folding bikes! Fine for an IM I'm sure.
