FGSS holiday?

Today has provided me with the notion of an FGSS attack on Yorkshire.

Would anyone be interested in riding the Yorkshire Dales Cycle Way?

It's technically a shortish ride spread over 6 days with the longest day being all of 38km.
To be honest I'd be more likely to propose that we ride it in 3-4 days.

The hills are brutal in both directions. Great for climbers and awesome for high gear inches and brakes on the way down.

Is anyone interested?

definately. count me in

Sounds like a good pub crawl!

It's an awesome pub crawl. We can even do it on the cheap and stop in B&Bs so we have more money for booze.

ah ha, my neck of the woods. you'll soon see that yorkshire was built for riding fixed.
legs and lungs screaming as you desperately try to crank up one side of a hill... knees and brake screaming as you begin the torturous descent.

I know, I grew up there ;]

could be a goer. kind of depends when. must get my travel plans sorted. NYC, france and uh, Ilfracombe in the offing.

I know, I grew up there ;]

you will never grow up ;)

I'm just canvassing for interest at the moment. I'll throw a poll up with we attact enough attention.
And Jonny, I meant I lived there whilst I went to school ;]

I'd be interested, Malham has to be one of my favourite places in the world.

Not sure on availability time-wise though, depends when it is :-)

Potentially there is a few of us then. I was thinking sometime in August may be good but if anyone has some suggestions?

sounds wicked but no time or funds for this particular shinannigan

I need a holiday from LFGSS...

Tommy it's planning in progress. If I'm organising it it's likely to end up being next year.
Let me know if you want to do it and we'll work around you.

To be honest I'm also broke and August would be the earliest I could afford it. Late = Better.

well, i live 20-30 minutes from most of the routes so whenever, long weekend would be good, august bank holiday?

Where abouts do you live?

Dent, Skiddaw, Skipton anywhere like that really . . .

How dare you wade in here discussing my hometown. Back to the carbon factory with you mr 50*14.

harrogate, 20 minutes form bolton abbey...
poifect

I grew up in Skipton, I know Harrogate all too well.

May I suggest a LFGSS holiday to (the hippy part of) Ibiza or Amsterdam or Prague or Barcelona or um, anywhere but England (as much as I love it)?
We could do a "Mtv Spring Break/Bikes gone wild" party till we puke (but in the sun instead of the rain) holiday!!!!!

...or can I be her (the top one) in Yorkshire?

I'm definitely into riding some other warm countries too. I just fancy doing a ride I did at a young age, but in a different way.

As a fellow Yorkshireman I am definitely in. So long as it falls on the right time and I'm not busy already.

So tell me when. Dates people. Specifics.
Maybe we could just do a tour of all of our parents houses for tea and biscuits?

Some pub crawl that'd be ;)
