After a brief period of hibernation I headed out today mountain biking in the Yorkshire Dales with Steve. It was beautiful weather, maybe a little chilly when we set off (-1), but soon became nice and warm in the sun.

Steve wanted to ride the whole 'Tour d'Ingleborough', but I didn't have that in my legs so we used a car shuttle to cut out a section and rode the brilliant section from the Ribblehead viaduct round to Clapham, and back to a hot drink at Steve's house in Ingleton 17 miles later!

I am still enjoying your blog Simon! Looks like you had nice weather in the Dales. I am up this way next year for my third Fellsman ... always seems a good idea from the safety of southern England!
ReplyDeleteHi Mark,
DeleteThanks. Due to an annoying foot/heel injury I've not had much to blog about of late! If you want to meet up for a pint or need somewhere to stay for the Fellsman get in touch nearer the time.
Very kind, I'll give you shout nearer the time (its end of April next year). I love the Fellsman but it's hard! Am in Lakes next summer for Lakeland 100 as well (completed 1 of those and DNF'd as well).
