Sorry, but i just had to share this with the .org.
The sun shone, the roads were empty and 280 miles passed by in a blur. I had intended to stop lots and take loads of pics with my new Nikon D60, but, well, you all know how it is, we got carried away a bit!
Ho hum, obligatory Ribblehead Viaduct pic
Some other V twin
Gotta love lunging at Hartside
The boys on blue (bikes) were at Devils, Durham Constabulary out on a training ride!

Lucky, lucky, lucky etc etc etc.....
Some lads were so worried at the prosect of a stop check, they jumped in the river
"And then I'm gonna go really really fast!"
All in all, a great day out, basis of the route was Clitheroe, back lanes to Settle, Hawes via ribblehead and the jump (Jump virgin over here! Cancelled the vasectomy, can't find them now

) then Brough, Middleton in Teesdale, Alston, Hartside, Penrith, parrallel the M6 south on lanes eventually to Devils, then lanes to High Bentham, Slaidburn, Clitheroe and home. Phew!
