We on for this little puppy?

Don't want to scare everyone off, so am happy to tame it a bit. We can skip the café and crack on through!

And what are the thoughts on a slightly earlier start? Maybe meet at 8.30 for a 9am get go?

Let's not tame it - keep it as it is, if people are falling apart on the way back the route can be amended then, but let's go for a hard one.

Re. setting off; I'll go with the majority vote - i don't mind earlier or later.

Happy to go along with the flow on the ride and the timings, the only thing i would add if we go for an early start, does everyone read the forum?

Jim,
Not everyone, I wouldn't change the time. The lack of responses may say something.

lack of responses is partly due to no-one coming on here 🙂

I think that is exactly the point Jules is making. The lack of responses reflects the number of people who are using the forum and would see the new time. I would agree leave the time and route as planned it won't be dark until 9.00. Hopefully even a Kris monster epic will be finished by then!

s'pose.

I'm one of the few in the club who has a foot tapping watch watching spouse at home, and I see a 10am set off as 2 hours wasted 🙂

I've suggested earlier starts before, and got flamed last time. Should learn my lesson...

Hi guys

Just got back from my holidays 🙂 which ride are we doing Longnor or the Macc Monster??
As for an earlier start it wouldn't work for me as I have to wait for Dan to come in from his run and I can't see him wanting to go at 5am!!!! But then I also have the dilemma of needing to be back by 430 at very latest!!! If we are running late I can always head home on my own with a more direct route!!

See you tomorrow 😀
