Saturday 30th June                    Worsthorne & Moor Bottom           21 Miles                                                          
There was a good turn out this week with nine of us all raring to go on the 21 mile trek around the moors, but if you asked Mick how far it was it ended up being 23 miles and a little undulating!!  We would like to welcome Simon who joined us from Burnley who had seen us on the website & decided to tag along, & Nick who is the 15 year old son of Nigel & is currently our youngest member, & also Stuart who we havn't seen for a while.
The ride very good and takes in some fantastic scenery, the ride from Worsthorne up to Gorple is a long drag but well worth the pull up the hill and Des well deserved the yellow jersey!! (stop winding Mick up Darren, the ed!) The weather turned against us as we hit Boulsworth moor bottom, but we were nearly home, I should say nearly in the pub to have a much well deserved Pint or 2 and some excellent food. 

Footnote:- Rory didn't join us again this week due to having to spend quality time with Clare, after leaving her at home while he had a whale of a time driving around the Nuremberg Ring the week before, this doesn't sound so bad until we found out they had both booked time off to spend together. Shame on you Rory I hope it ended up being an expensive lesson, Hairdressers, nails etc don't come cheap.
