    Dales Ride Out - Saturday

    Dales Ride Out

    Led by Austin

    Dent....Hawes...Buttertubs pass.....Kirkby Stephen.....Langwathby.....Hartside Pass(2nd twistiest road in UK and biker friendly cafe at the top)......Alston.....Barnard Castle.....Richmond (call in at Altberg boots if I can find them again))....Reeth.....Thwaite (5th or6th twistiest road).....Hawes.....Dent.

    I am guessing at about 120miles and all on mainly minor roads (2 short sections of A66), but awesome moorland scenery.

    Reply to this thread if interested.


    Going so far...

    My son has just decided he is coming along now - on a Honda 125.
    2001 Transalp XLV650. Faithful old friend still chugging away nearly 100,00miles
    2007 Varadero XLV1000. Now you're torquing but sadly gone to another forum member. One of the best bikes - period.

    When they coined the phrase "it's not what you've got, it's how you use it" they were talking about bikes. He'll be fine.

    Sounds good Austin, my regular stompin' ground so I'll probably be heading for the Lakes run. Sorry mate.
