54 miles (Out via Disley, back via Macc/Alderley).

Hilly, but of the long drag rather than the oh fuck variety. Includes descent of the
Cat and Fiddle, which is about as good as it gets.

Sat 6th June:

56 miles, out via Marple and Glossop, over Holme Moss from the 'easy' side.

Reverse the ride to do Holme Moss from the 'hard' side

http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=2599418

or the guy in hebden said it's a 20 min climb (depending on fitness) out of hebden then it's flat on the tops. that could be WELL nice.

Suggestion

54 miles (Out via Disley, back via Macc/Alderley).

we could do it on sundays before ride it as a nice little sunday hangin out thing???

maybe if we do the hebden ride we could watch this in that social club they have there or at ian's house, I have it...

A Boy, a Girl and a Bike (1949) Bike Right.
Diana Dors and Anthony Newly co-star.
Set around the hills of Hebden Bridge and focuses around a love triangle between a working class woman, a man from a local cycle club and a middle class motor fanatic who finds love and joys of cycling. A slim Diana Dors amusing bit when she stuffs her face in a tea-shop. Out of the rain on a ride the cyclists take a break for a smoke, ripping stuff. Jimmy Saville appears somewhere in the film as a cycling extra.

which was that??? do i have it? what does it look like?

the video got robbed from the basement along with my bike dvd collection. was totally gutted. as i said i can replace though..

the basement bar can be booked out from sunday to thursday

no it got robbed but i have it in another format. it def does need to be seen. the basement bar in the deaf institute will let us watch films there for free if we book it out. if people are up for it????

also i have bmx bandits, american flyers and loads of other 80's classsics.

in addition to some real good old bike films too like "jour de fete", "a boy a girl and a bike"

and some race/documentaries like the "Road to Roubaix" etc.

when though?
