I suffered a major problem today with my front wheel causing two inner tubes to puncture and finally I ran out of patches so I was sat at the top of Garsdale , no phone reception, no mode of transport until a fine gentleman picked me up and drove me to ‘Kudu bikes’ in Hawes where they looked after me splendidly and after Martin had sorted my bike out I continued with no further problems. Thanks guys !

I live just north of Lancaster in the Lune Valley and so apart from shorter rides of up to a couple of hours I tend to venture into the Yorkshire Dales or the Lake District to search out longer hilly rides, which there seem to be plenty of !

I don’t intend to bore anybody with my training before we got the website up & running but will start from the beginning of this week.
