Not been out on the Turner 5 spot for quite a few months, so it was a nice change to try and get in some Lakeland riding last night. The weather was fantastic, as was the views. Even better, when we got to Wheelbase car park we found the beer festival starts on a Thursday night 😀

So a great ride, finished with a chippy tea and some great ale. I hope summer has more of these in store.

not so sure about the chippy tea but there are some cracking rides round there [ my weekend play area these days]
Have you got that route by any chance?

Reminds me I need to e-mail you as well

sure have, mail me and I’ll send it to you

How you doing BTW?

and is it the sausage that puts you off the chippy tea?

Like.

Let me know if/when you fancy that ride around Hebden.

Will do, we were up there on a narrow boat doing a stag weekend a couple of weeks ago and I remember Ton doing a STW ride round there, but I don’t have the route, do you know it well Grum?

Simple Northern folk venturing to Yorkshire and the delights of Hebden …sounds interesting when were you thinking off ….assuming i can tag along.

Will either of us remember shoes this time Grum?

Of course was directed at both of you. 🙂

Getting to know it pretty well – still finding new stuff all the time.

It’s amazing at the moment (hopefully the storm this weekend won’t ruin the trails). Could probably do an evening next week.

Or a chain?

Speak for yourself I like to think I’m educated 😉

in a Chorley sort of way

Or a chain?

touché 😀

A night ride may be on the cards, a few form work will be for it, Grant etc, ie those guys from the DH in Wales.

I’ll look to see when is best and mail you

OOOF the low blow…. I forget about that till someone reminds me of it on here…what an idiot

YGM both of you

My initial thoughts were where is the darkness (not Justin Hawkins).
Which was quickly superseded by horror and disgust at the fact there was no batter on your sausage and the curry sauce looks distinctly suspect.

no batter on your sausage

Sausage are not meant to be battered.

FACT

and the curry sauce was fine, just remember this is Staveley, there is not much choice for anything, let alone Chippies 🙄

Chippy in Staveley isn’t bad, decent fish. Love riding in that area, lucky folks that live there.
