Well twilight then it went dark….. and I wasn’t up the side of a mountain when it went dark…. and didn’t go that far….. BUT…. still a big deal for me and I heard owls and there was a man with a long black mac….. *breathes*

Irwell Vale near me is lovely

You can all look impressed now even though its not a big deal to you experienced rufty tufty blokes…. *watches tumble weed drift past empty post* 😯

there was a man with a long black mac

You *sure* it wasn’t a suede jacket?

😯

…or one of Barnsley Mitch’s custom knitted numbers?

😯

STW is a strange, strange place.

Were you lit up like a Christmas tree of in stealth-ninja mode?

Dunno what does a Donna Karen ball gown, wellies and bobble cap count as?

Irwell Vale.

Cripes – bad memories. I did myself a right mischief there in October 2009 – on a night ride. I’m sure the picture of my “massive injury” will appear soon….

😯 *isn’t leaving Nuttall Park Childrens Cycle Path ever again*

Well lets just say he ‘paled’ seeing where he’d come down in the dark in the daylight there was a sheer drop down somewhere he’d ‘hooned’ down on Monday night

Damn I hate fitting in…… 👿

I fell off on the inclined path next to the ELR and landed belly first on my handlebar end.

OOOOF!

OOOOOOUCH!!! 😥

Damn I hate fitting in…… 👿

that’s a relief, I thought your emoticons had got stuck on 😯

😯

I’m sorry I don’t have any LOL cats or running T-Rex’s I feel inadequate

I believe the phrase is ‘apple-cored’ derek.

So Bagpuss… Blackstone Edge tonight? 😉

Oh…. and how were the refreshments?

This is what happened in Irwell Vale:

I don’t mind showing this now as I’ve lost 3 stones since this was taken.

…awww chesus Derek! For the first time today I’ve stopped barfing and you go and show that again! Haven’t you got anything better to do? 😉

I don’t mind showing this now as I’ve lost 3 stones since this was taken.

And developed a sense of humour….

(sorry).

OUCH!! OMG! That looks really painful

It was, R E A L L Y painful and I still have a huge haematoma above my naval. If my bar end plug had been absent, I’d have bled out and expired on the trail 😐

night riding is soooo last winter, it’s all about rides after work in the spring light now!

Daaaaaaaaaaaahling. Night riding is like a Chanel little black dress. It never goes out of fashion

wearing dresses is for when the missus is out, not for cycling

bagpuss if you want company on those night rides we are out most wednesdays at around half six so you’d be welcome. we’ve said the same to binners .

mr ph – is this around Holcombe Hill and that? I’m up for a slice of that if you don’t mind. Do you meet at th’Hare & Hounds?

Good work fella. Night riding is ace, not least as the trails are quiet. Save for the rustling of ball gowns around Rammy, by all accounts.

my mate did a very similar thing to that in ’91 derek.. no bar end plug though.. just long bar ends (it was the early 90s..) he didn’t die as such.. but he did get a very nice trip in a helicopter..

oh how we all laughed at his misfortune… after we stopped being sick

Think it’d be a bit advanced for me yet but I know him indoors is up for it I’ll kick him out the door point him in your direction as bless him he’s not very bright….. 😀
