Blorenge... always makes me chuckle, sounds like it should be a dessert of some kind

I had to google Blorenge!

Hope your shoulders ok Hanneke

Sunday
Perhaps dry to start but clouds thickening with hill fog and rain soon moving in. Southwesterly winds will be strong to gale from the start.

I am not sure I want to do this now... shoulder not 100% at all, weather forecast atrocious and I lost my nerve on Sunday, out on the MTB, as I was lifted up 29er MTB and all by strong winds and dumped trailside about 20 metres lower than the trail. Thankfully a young pine tree broke my fall. However, I am really prone to being blown over by the wind. This has now happened multiple times fell running, multiple times on the road bike, twice on the cross bike and now even once on a whopping great big MTB :w00t:

NOT happy, especially not after last years situation where I could not see a thing on top of Ingleborough and had to shuffle around glasses and bike in hand, literally feeling where I was going. NOT funny! Seriously thinking of giving this a miss... I don't want to go the way my rescue victim went, fracturing her ankle in front of me coming off Whernside... I would love a helicopter ride one day, but not by courtesy of MR :w00t:

[Hanneke]

Walshes and toe clips sounds like an idea...

Well, at least I have my wheels back, with new rims and new spokes in the back as well... Only, the front isn't true so need to go back again tomorrow morning to have it trued grrrrrrrrrrrrrr... Nothing seems to be going smoothly at the moment
