Where to ride? Fortwilliam --> Newcastle
« on: August 30, 2008, 16:36:40 PM »
Ok so the plan was to drive up to fortwilliam early tomorow and ride sunday and monday, But checking the website uplifts are off on monday  Angry so instead of a wasted day where could we ride that is somewhere inbetween forwilliam and newcastle.

Any ideas?
