Joined: 08 Jul 2011 Posts: 129 Bike: My Profile | Gipa: Just in case you missed it on the other thread: Gipa: I'm thinking of riding from Washington up to the Tyne, west to Wylam, Prudhoe, Hedley on the Hill, Newlands, Shotley Bridge, up Blackhill to the C2C and back home, dropping you off at Anfield Plain if you decide to do it. If we meet at Washington it will keep the mileage the same for both of us. Sounds like a plan to me anyway! Anyone else interested, more than welcome (Dave, Alan, Alas58) we could always meet you on the route somewhere. Laters Tel.. This is for saturday 28 April by the way. |

Joined: 11 Jul 2010 Posts: 99 Bike: My Profile | Not sure what I'm doing yet tel. Today's intended Hamsterley was going to be a tad wet so I opted for the Blyth sunshine and a gentler 50 miles. Sundays wind and maybe rain means I'll be out sometime tomorrow. Will probably text you a.m. if I'm keen on meeting up along the tyne 10.30/10.45ish? Tomorrow is sunny post 10 a.m. |
