Have a great day out - sorry I can't join you.

Hi , setting off just after 8 am see you all there . My brother not coming as he has had an accident at work on Saturday and is now on crutches .
Oops! I was up at 5:30 to watch the Grand Prix. Looking a bit misty this morning but should brighten up later.Originally Posted by mk1 dal
Thanks for coming out to play. It was a nice surprise to see Bill joining us. I've got quite mixed feelings about the day. The road closure that meant we had to do a massive detour knocked my plans way out so it was a late lunch at the Carding Shed, via the dentist for a check-up!
I spent a long time planning the run and worrying that I wouldn't be able to fill a full day, but actually when you're in a group progress can be quite slow. I felt quite down about how it all went, but I'm already thinking about improvements for next time so it can't have traumatised me that much!
Well i enjoyed it mate well done on organizing the run its never easy at all and today we had the road closure and the whole world and his wife to contented with + horses and 2 bloody peacocks ( i did think i was seeing things , peacocks in the road that's a first ) and the nob in the BMW who pulled out on me , how i missed him i will never know . count me in for the next Yorkshire run mate , when we did get going the roads and scenery were awesome . So well done sorting the run mate no one could have done any better today
I second that !!
Enjoyed it a lot. Sorry I delayed the start slightly, I never looked back at the first page of this thread so still thought we were meeting at the carding shed.
We need to try and acomplish your original idea of the tour and breakfast at the carding shed next time.
We were very lucky with the weather today but that of course makes the traffic worse. Glossop was cut off, so nothing new there then. Holmfirth jammed with people eating stuff ... best check if that is an annual event for next year. To add to Gary's BMW near incident I had a near incident at traffic lights with a motor bike. Woodhead had a slight hold-up due to a three car smash that none of us still doing the run could understand how it possibly happened. ( Did you notice them all holding their necks, could be a claim ! )
But we did find some fantastic roads, wizzing up and down Holm moss was great and the scenery looked fantastic with the sun out.
I don't have many pics as our Martin usually takes some on the go and he wasn't there. I'll get them up sometime !
Many thanks for leading today.

PS Gary, I have my missing stripes on already. Ta for them.
Yes. The run back over Holme Moss was a cracker😄
Gunna have to memorise some of them roads/hills for the old push iron and the scenery with the sun out was stunning! Nice one Anthony👍🏻
Have a look at this: http://blog.veloviewer.com/holme-mos...-stage-2-2014/
Sorry we didnt make the after lunch run, but because of the delay caused by the detour, it would have made the day too long for me. We did enjoy the run we did (apart from the detour) and look forward to the next one.
Barbara managed to get some photos - when she wasnt getting bounced around, which I have attached.
