Sorry it's taken me ages to get the blooming laptop up n running
Due to demands from certain peeps the run will be approx 96 miles and will take approx 4 hours 30 mins with stop offs. Unfortunately due to the need to keep under 100 miles round trip the run will not take in The Dales. We will keep that for the next time. Hope this is OK ... but if not please feel free to suggest alternatives at any of the stop off points.

Arrrgggh eek! Gawd knows what Ive done with the directions above ... everything was supposed to be in BLACK!!! eeek! Hope you can all make sense of it !
I'm bored now so will say if tha' can't read it ... tough!!
Ahh at last dont need directions for this one, there are a few gud runs out into the dales from otley over to settle via bolton abby a good one, to grassington, skipton trough of bowland, oh dear spoilt for choice really, but we not doing dales now? Confused! I will see you all at otley cafe....not keen on squires dare i say, yes i did just say!
As per my post on 22.09.13 - Due to demands from certain peeps the run will be approx 96 miles and will take approx 4 hours 30 mins with stop offs. Unfortunately due to the need to keep under 100 miles round trip the run will not take in The Dales. We will keep that for the next time. Hope this is OK ... but if not please feel free to suggest alternatives at any of the stop off points.
Not doing dales as I was asked to do something no more than 100 miles round trip from squires which is why it is setting off and returning to squires! No need to set off from squires or return to but the majority of people who showed interest in this are staying at my place overnight on Saturday and squires is the most convenient place to meet others.
Sorry if it is misleading on the thread title but things changed quite rapidly and Rileymtr and myself did the best option as requested.
Suggest that if you would prefer to do dales then arrange route from Dunnies, Pateley Bridge or Sun Inn on the day. TBH, I am too busy with other things in my life at present to be able to cater for everyone. Cheers!
Will join you on this it will be the last trip this year for my dragstar cus tax runs out and so has the rear tyre. Have to shake the cobwebs of the deauville ready for winter. Will put the route in my sat nav when I have an hour to spare
this is going to be a fun day we got the bike show saturday and then off to gbnp,s for sat night and then the fabby ride out sunday come and have a good day out with us mad peeps for coffee and cakeeeee
