Sounds OK to me. Bamford was closed yesterday though (Roadworks). you couldn't see the works from the top, so I've no idea how long it'll take them to be finished.

OK, here's the plan.
Meet at crosspool motorworld at 4, cos that's where it all began last year.
The route killers got in mind sounds like good.
Then off to pizza hut for about 1. Is that early enough for who ever needs to leave early for work? The all you eat is about £5.50 and runs from 11.30 til 3. (I think)
See you all friday morning.

I need to be at work in rotherham at 1:25, so 1 is no good for me. I'd be more inclined to go for 11:30. thus allowing for maximum pizza munching time!
Otherwise, I'll just miss out on the pizza, and become scrawny from all the riding.

I want to come but my bike is broken (cracked one of the pivot bearings trying to get it out, now Orange will have to remove it).
So has anyone got a spare bike I can borrow on Friday morning? Anyone who can't make it, but doesn't want their bike to miss out??
Killer, is your Bullit fixed and are you going to be riding that?

Crosspool is kind directly at the start of the ride, so makes more sense really. If you go to Broomhill (or are there already?) then follow the A57 Manchester road up the hill, and just after the BP garage there is a road joins from the right, with a car parts shop called 'Motorworld' on the corner. Meet there.
It's an awesome ride, so enjoy it. And see how many people can make Cavedale unscathed, assuming you do that of course.

Ok For us downhillers and those with big bikes.
Because I don't fancy slogging my guts out for 6 hours of XC how about those with cars, Bill and Phil, drive a few of us out to Win Hill, so we can ride that new line in the woods. The advantage is that;
We get to ride the path without lots of walkers getting in the way.
The view of dawn from the top of Win Hill might be quite nice.
We can still go to pizza hut at the end
Phil won't have a group meeting then.

What date are we talking about here? I've greeted the sunrise quite a bit recently whilst working, and twice in the last couple of weeks I haven't been to bed full stop!
I like the sound of this malarky though Lewis, although if someone is prepared to lend me a cross-county bike, I'd be up for doing the proper ride ;D
