My Little Bimble
Something I've never really done is gone out on my own for a good real ride. So today I decided I'd have a bimble. I havn't been out on the bike for ages, I took it to work yesterday which wet my appetite I think.
So anyways, this is where I went: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?cli...3,2.471924&z=9 (I went clockwise incidently). I had a rough idea of where I wanted to get to, got there and then chose the next road off the map. The roads from Ingleton upto Dent were 30mph max, kamikazee sheep and gravel a plenty. A few piccies: Somewhere between Arncliffe and Malham: Malham Cove in the background One for Blue Pete: Road between Ingleton and Dent:

Re: My Little Bimble
What time were you at Hawes ? I was there from about 11 30 to 12 30 went up from Ripon via Leyburn. Dont remember seeing you although I did manage to ride straight past Robchester today without seeing him either

Re: My Little Bimble
I missed you by about 7 hours
Passed through there about 19:00 ish. It were nice and quiet funnily enough, parking wouldn't have been a problem.

Re: My Little Bimble

Re: My Little Bimble
I can't see the piccies at work, but it certainly ain't square (or I hope it isn't ). I only had it put on in the last 500 miles
