I’d arranged to meet up with three riders from my cycling forum (CycleChat.co.uk). Calum and longers met me here in Hebden Bridge at about 10:30 and we set off along the valley roads towards Burnley. Normally, I tend to stay off those roads as much as possible because the views are better higher up and [...]

Last November I met three cyclists from Leeds on a local ride that I’d organised. We got on well and had a nice day out on our bikes so we said that we must get together again in 2009. Well, one of those cyclists was a student named Calum and he contacted me last week [...]
