This one is a bit out of left field but here goes.
Buy a bike for no more than £50. We’d suggest an old one. Meet up with “like minded” - yes we’re being polite - people at 9am on Saturday 22nd August in the Stubbing Wharf near Hebden Bridge for a clockwise 47 mile trip around the Mary Towneley loop.
That’s as much info as we have or that is possibly sensible to divulge. Safe to say, it’ll be a challenge and a certain amount of lunacy is required.
It’s being “organised” over on Facebook.
