Present today were Ben, John, el presi, jonathan, Jeromi ,Damien , C johnson and myself fry up.  I would like to give a warm welcome to Jeromi [have i spelt that correct?] who had his first run out on a club run today, and Damien who has been out with us before and who i knew when riding together with the Halifax imps, good to see them both and hopefully again.  So on a warm and overcast morning we set off on our normal route at a brisk pace, quickly reaching marsden where we saw Derick waving at us from the cafe as we hit the bottom of the hill, laughing as we hit the long drag to the top.  As we regrouped at the summit, we where met by Martin.    So off we went again, opting not to stop at uppermill but go straight to Glossop.   Once at the cafe [for the record, full English] strines moor was discussed, and it seemed to be agreed we would all go back via woodhead, however Martin and Jeromi sped off for snake pass and thats the last we saw of them.  Can we have a report on the road surface Martin?    see you all next week, phil j
