A quick plug for this one as it's only a couple of weeks away.
You will need to sort your own accommodation out in advance to avoid sleeping on park bench.
Strom67
Only two weeks to go until we set off on the first leg of this one... Can't wait ๐๏ธ๐
Steve_H
Strom / Susi - I've got in interesting route up in from here for you that avoids all those boring straight lines and motorways.
Anyone else wanting to ride up together shout out or PM me. We're meeting at Middleton-in-Teesdale, time to be agreed depending on how 'post birthday party' were feeling... ๐

Has anybody booked a table for food in Middleton for the Thursday or is it TBA.
Steve_H
I'll be doing it soon Tezza, are you joining us?
Anybody else up for it?
Tezza1958
Yes Steve I will be there, I imagine Strom and Suzi will be wanting food.
Strom67
Count me in, although I don't know how much I'll be eating by then with this Mounjaro jab๐ค
Steve_H
That's the table booked in the Teesdale for 6:30.
Strom67
A week from today
We'll be on our way
Way hey๐๏ธ๐
SusiPop
Yay seems real now. Are you riding up with Strom and me, Tezza, or meeting us there?
Tezza1958
I will meet you there Susi, I am going up to Kirby Moorside to see Angus and then heading to Manor Farm Cafe in Leyburn.
Strom67
What time do you want me at Squires by Susi? Usual 12?
SusiPop
Haha I should have checked on here before sending you and Tezza PMs lol. Ride safe Tezza and yes to 12 at Squires if that suits you Strom? Thanks for booking food Steve - really looking forward to this one. Just a last minute reminder - if anyone that is house- trained has not yet booked accommodation I have a twin room with en-suite in the Independent Hostel with one bed spare. PM me if interested ๐

It'll soon be Moffat time ๐
A few of us are riding up together on Friday. If anyone wants to join us let me know. we'll be leaving Middleton-in-Teesdale about 10:30 * and going the interesting way up.
For the rest I'll post a message on here when we get there to agree where & when we'll be meeting Friday evening and Saturday morning for a ride.
* Time dependent on how 'refreshed' SusiP gets on her birthday ๐
SusiPop
I rather think 2 glasses of wine will be sufficient refreshment for a lady of advancing years thank you! I have now amended my accommodation so will stay in Moffat for the 3 nights instead of breaking the journey back in Middleton. May be a sprint back on motorways so I can prepare myself for teaching at 9am on Tuesday. Canโt wait for retirement ๐คช๐คช
Strom67
I'm happy to keep you company on the Monday as far as Yorkshire Susi... Then I'll only have 130 miles to continue home ๐คฃ
SusiPop
Sounds like a plan, thanks Strom ๐๐

'Tis looking hot and sunny for us ๐

Strom67
One day to go... Pannier packing day๐
