you would have to be going early mate they are leaving at 9am for the Ride out so you would have to be up there and ready for then

Can you not come on the friday evening think there is tent space, i'm going to get myself a small tent tomorrow so you could possibly use the space someone had set aside for me

[seb421]

Just a quick one what time are people arriving for on the Friday?

How much and who do i pay for camping?

i take it we are leaving tents and bags when we go for the ride on saturday, will they be safe?

Look forward to meeting the gang

[seb421]

Have we got an updated list of confirmed people attending one second post only says people interested etc

I did that road 3 weeks back now. That hidden dip proper caught me out. I got completely airborne over!

Ok here's a video of one of the best bits of the route for next weekend. Think of it as a trailer Again no engine sound, because too much wind noise, but mic ordered for next week

It's a pretty long video, but I have skipped past most of the slow bits either with traffic or 30s and 40s.

The best bit is between 4:30 and 25:00. My favourite road in this country between 15:30 and end. It's pretty much uncut other than stopping to chat at Ribblehead Viaduct, and shows how good that section (approx. 20 miles) of road is. No villages, no slow bits, just amazing roads. Watch it in 720 if you're going to watch.

If you have seen the bit above about the hidden dip jump, watch out for it at 23:35. Hard to tell from the video, but if you freeze frame the bike jumps about 4 inch. Very scary if you're not expecting it.
