What a fantastic day/ride!! After being a long-term lurker (since 2010 under username, Danialdo), having made less than 10 posts and having never been on any forum rides, I had the absolute pleasure of starting late and being escorted round by the legend that is Skully!! Laughed alot, and learnt some stuff, including the best way to attack cobbles ("too tense man, you're too tense!"). Then, just as I thought it couldn't get any better, we caught up with all the names I've seen on the forum but had never met, on Canonbie! Thanks for letting me tag along and sharing the good vibes. Made a middle aged man feel like part of the cool kids - though when I got home I fell asleep in the armchair watching a programme about the National Trust, so the balance was restored!).
