    Where's a decent place to ride to this wednesday? I've finally got some time off and could do with going out for a ride, getting a bit rusty (me not the bike).

    If the weather is crap, which there is a good chance of i'll try and get out thursday instead. Should be 3 of us with a bit of luck.

    I went on that run xjr, was very good but I did take a bit of a wrong turn. Must have been at Ingleton because I ended up back in Skipton.

    Going to go back next week and try again. Really enjoyed it though, roads and the weather were both spot on. Took a few snaps as well while it were nice.
