Re: YHA Weekend Rides
Just having a quick look around at YHA's with a 100 mile radius of the Black Horse.
The Peak District has a good selection of options, ranging from around 70 to 100 miles.
It would be ideal if we could get enough people interested so that we could book a dorm just for us?

The trouble with starting later and again from painful experience, you get caught behind big groups of very slow people. On the narrow lanes and especially on the climbs its a nightmare and can be quite hazardous.
