Sorry can't make this one. Other commitments have come about. Pity as I have not cycled this part of south Yorkshire. :wink:
Done Wakefield / Barnsley and Wakefield /York Rally a few years back. Hope the weather is fair and a bit warmer than current for you.
Cheers

I’d guess the oldman is slightly more Northern than Belfast but there won’t be a lot in it.
The funny thing is South Yorkshire.....where did that place spring up from?
Ah yes, born on April 1st 1974 :lol:
Sadly it’s too far for a December jaunt, to take a look, for me.
Whatever I am, wherever I am, this is me. This is my life

As Ken reminded me recently, the weather is horrible anyway. At least I’ll be fresh come spring.

Black tea, well done bacon butty, perhaps tuna (although I may shoot off afterwards as my daughter is coming home).

Don't want to be too late, it's dark by 16:00 hrs.
