    I'm hoping to be able to make it out this tuesday. Any info on potential route this week? 1830 at Pedlar, is that right? I'll be the unfit one possible on a shiny new Chumba!

    Welcome along…. Please note that we have been called F;#in crackers on occasions 😆
    You`ll need good lights as well, at least 2-3hr burn time.

    Oh BTW you`ll also need legs of iron, nerves of steel and a good sense of humour 😉
    A nickname helps, but we can sort that for you 😆

    Mr Stone, the guy is called TOMB, don' think he needs a nick name.
    You two will make a good double act though!…………. TomB Stone, lets hope thats not prophetic.

    I went out with these guys a few years ago. Made to feel very welcome. But agree with the "crackers" statement. We were out for hours and at times I had water up to my mid shin. Some (most) of them are super fit and flew up wet greasy hills on singlespeeds that I struggled up in granny (and I'm fitish). Did I mention it was raining and dark.

    Was well fecked at the end……. One of the best "evening spins" I have ever been on 🙂 Still owe them a big thanks for a great ride.

    I joined them one evening last spring when on holiday. Was an excellent ride, but Jelly babies are indeed essential.
    Hope you've survived!

    Fun night out, thanks for the patience with my various bike snags. Nice to meet everyone and put some faces to names off here. I'll be out again when shifts allow….

    Reminds of the Dyfi, when fat feckers on SS were passing me up a silly steep technical climb. FFS 🙄

    No probs Diggler, It is every Tues, regular as clockwork and we still managed to have 8/10 turn out when it was -11teen degrees 😉
