At the library today were Doug ,Jack,Phil R,Phil J,Sky,Mick K,Martin L,Jonny Poppadom,and myself Mad John.

We set of in the direction of Huddersfield for the Famous climb of holme moss which was an hard climb today with a bit of a head wind of coarse Jack made it to the top first closely followed by Doug , we didnt wait at the top with it been windy so we all met at the junction at the bottom, this is when Mick decided to leave us and the rest of us set a steady pace into Glossop were we had a short stop(wish i had eaten).

After the stop we set off up snake pass ,This is a lovely smooth road and with a good rythem set by Jack and Doug this is the last we saw of them ,Sky and i decided at the top to decend on are own and we stoppedat the pub at ladybower to wait for the rest, after a ten minute wait they came around the corner with a book of excuses (must have borrowed it from McCall) Jonny poppadom blaming his recent holiday ” No excuse”.

After a short stop for water we set off again in the direction of the strines (beautiful hills )and we re grouped at the top of the last hill after this Sky and myself lost the rest we did soft pedal for 5 mins but we never saw you again ,so just sky and mad with no liquid so the easy option was the decent into newmill and stock up then the usual way back to mirfield ,

A great day out (This is my favourite ride) banter at the cafe and some awesome hills especially snake pass Just a pity we all split .

I had 80 miles on the clock but if theres a garmin fella out there i,d love to know feet climbed.

Hope everyone got home ok .

May not be out next week all depends on work but untill i se
