I actually rode Phillip park in daylight last week. Just for the novelty. It was ace! Lets do a Prestwich jaunt. Lee was on about riding down, then riding back. Apparently we've started a training programme. By mistake, obviously

Obviously it's less likely I'll rock up if there's no Binners film poster style promotional artwork accompanying this thread. 😀

Is the plan for this week just to rag it round the Philips / Waterdale trails for 90 mins? Berms, jumps and skidz etc.

We could do a lap of HTN for old time’s sakes, missing out The Field of Despair (obviously).

I think tonight we will just “dick about” in Philips and Waterdale. We can do some of the off piste stuff that hasn’t been included in the trail network and some of the bits that we used for various HTNs. Maybe do the woodland DH bit on the other side of the motorway that we did a couple of weeks back followed by the singletrack on the other side of the river.

We can also have a “who can draw the best Strava Knob™” competition on the big field.

Whatever… we’ll do 90 mins of behaving like 10 year olds then scoot back to the beer garden. 😉

The Rammy contingent are riding over. Always makes the last climb on the way home particularly enjoyable. I may have to drink copious amounts in the beer garden beforehand to set me up for the journey 😀

We're heading up from Sale most probably to break tradition of our usual pub ride (Jacksons Boat) - lift arrangements to be confirmed.

35 years ago i had a pencil and paper. Now i'm 45 years old and my life has been reduced to drawing a cock and balls with the aid of a mountain bike, garmin and a satellite thousands of miles away.

Progress.

It's a good cock Craig, but I'm KOM.

The bell-end detail has cost you big time.
