Dream Ride - another from Jim

Off I set up Hala Hill to the Fox and Goose then right on to Newlands Road and right at the end under the motorway and a steady climb eventually dropping down to the Conder before the never ending climb through Quernmore cross roads to Jubilee Tower.

A quick descent onto the road leading through the Trough and the long slog over the boundary hill before the descent to Dunsop Bridge. A left turn took me through the village and on the road to Slaidburn. A quick drink and a ponder before I decided to wander up the Cross O Greet road to drop down to the Great Stone of Fourstones.

At the summit a quick break before the rapid(and mean rapid descent) I soon arrived at my break which meant a swig of liquidised rice pudding, complan and glucose!!

Along Mewith Lane to turn right just after Keasden to slog up and Over Bowland Knott’s and back down into Slaidburn.

Through Dunsop Bridge a right turn and I was heading for home but up and over the boundary hill then the slog up to Jubilee tower where I decided to stop for a break knowing I had the thrutch up from the Conder to come.

But wait someone is shouting but I can’t make out who or what they are saying, it sounds like Teresa oh I know what she is saying “Jim Jim wake up you are having a nightmare and your legs are going mad, wake up”

Thank goodness it was a dream BUT why if it was a dream do your legs ache as if it was real??
