Anyone fancy doing the ‘Pennine Bridleway Mountain Bike Challenge’, I guess a kind of mountain biking equivalent of a sportive.

Always wanted to do that but it always clashes with the Isle of Man.

The Mary Townley Loop is fantastic, recommend it, just take some energy, it’s long.

No worries Ged, I’ll think of you as I plow through the grit and dirt, covered from head to toe in mud, in the pi**ing rain.

What a wonderful sport mountain biking is.
