At the library were Alastair W , Mick K , Rob H , Paul B , Martyn B, Young Lewis , John S and Myself the Mad one , OOps i think Brad joined us at john cottons .

I already had a ride in my head that did’nt involve a stop today but i believe some did so from the off Alastair and myself decided on a hilly run and the rest set off to Rossi’s on a flatter route  , Those of you who went to Rossis please write a post.

Al and i went through Brighouse and up to Hipperholme and then over to Denholm , down the hill towards haworth were we turned left to Peckett well Half the way up by the pub it started sleeting , by the top it was full on ice and snow , it was freezing,on the way down it got worse . i for one could not see a thing through my glasses but could’nt take them off it was so cold , every breath was a swear word  and i think i used them all.

At the bottom Alastair was waiting and all he could say was feck cragg vale i can’t feel my fingers and toes , i had to agree we set off home at a fast rate but al was too fast and we split  ,

we both arrived home around the same time he in huddersfield me in thornhill both frozen to the bone , glad to have done the ride but its the last for the year i have resigned myself to a warm garage and the rollers so untill the new year .

Have a very merry Christmas and all the best for the New Year
