heres the route
and Hawmaw it was a tuesday and about 30 bikes passed in 15 mins. reason its quiet at the cafe is ........... the clown only opens up on sat and sun .... he is really missing a trick here as there were 30 or so cars in the car park opposite and as i said all the bikes passing ..... DOH
anyway i had to endure it all again today [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif[/img]
had a few variations on a theme did some really narrow twisty bumpy sections today as well as smooth blissful tarmac, however not quite as sunny but still enjoyable
ohh and since tuesday afternoon the swines have stone chipped the last 4 miles of the dalveen pass [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy.gif[/img]
