Pleased with the bike then Tony ?

 

[Zimmerframe]

He seems like a thoroughly nice guy. Was happy to chat about all sorts on Sunday and seemed pretty humble when we touched on sponsorship.

Tom Cardy's going to sponsor you ? Or did you just negotiate and eventually he gave in and paid for your ice cream ?

 

[Tonybro]

Delighted! ?

I'll let you have a little try on the 7th - if you're a good boy! ?

If you mean on the 7th itself ..ive got half a chance ..but a good boy up until the 7th will probably result in a fail ...?
Thanks for the offer though ?

I found a bit of dappled light in the woods, so went all gratuitously artistic and that.

And a stop off halfway round.

Agreed, If I hadn't already ordered the Heckler that was a very tempting bike.

Its been a good few years since Ive been up there Richy ..and never on the route you took ( started Garrigill ) ..
Im interested in the route you took back from High Cup Nick ..would I be right in assuming it was on the bridleway over Murton Fell..skirting Murton Pike ?
Having not ridden that section what is the track like ..grassy ? rocky? highly technical or flowing ?
Also what was the little squiggly loop you did on that section ..I cant work it out from that map ..?
Or have I got the direction wrong and you climbed up from Murton?
Cheers ..

Yesterday's ride was a test of the Rise's battery.

I set off from the upper barn at Rivington, up to the Pigeon Tower, the Pike and then the gradual climb up to the top of Winter Hill before dropping into Belmont, taking the Witton Weavers Way over to Jubilee Tower and then back again.

Just shy of 3500ft of climbing, 25.9 miles (41.5 km), 1700 kCals and arrived back with less than 20% battery (light was red on the mini switch box - need to log onto bike to see just how low it went). (EDIT: 16% left so good for at least a few more miles!)
