Well what a cracking day for the meet up, there might have been only 3 of us, and a little chilly to start the ride out to the Meeting point A59 cafe near Bolton Abbey.
Quick thanks to David and Simbo for turning up, I must admit I was envious of your breakfast baps, looked good value as well. We did a little ride out to Kettlewell for a light lunch, but Simbo demolished to cream scones
Onwards over to Hawes for a quick toilet stop, over to Ribblehead viaduct and Horton in Ribblesdale before a coffee stop in Settle!
Sorry I had to do a quick exit to get to Blackburn, but enjoyed the ride and thanks for your company
I completely agree! Lovely day for it 8) and great to meet up with fellow RT riders! It's always nice to put faces to names as they say! Even though myself & DaveCly have known each other (virtually) for a few years from another forum ;D All in all a lovely day spent with like minded friendly people. Cheers guys! Here's looking forward to the next!
a couple of picks of the RT's in Settle (mines the one with the dodgy top box, tyre's that are about to disintegrate & and worn out disc. Shame as I've only done 175 miles today

Yep, echo Dave & Simbo's comments, great to share our knowledge & ride some new roads together.
It's not a competition, but I did 210 miles.

Well, if yesterday wasn't sufficient, ended up at Kettlewell again today & rode to Hawes.
Had to have another scone with jam & cream, only one though, not two like a.n.other yesterday.

I don't believe it, rode through Kettlewell again today, didn't stop for a scone, ended up at the Route 59 Café for a brew only.
