Church Inn, Prestwich M25 1AJ
8:15 blast off
Bring money for beer and pie

I thought that we’d give Prestwich a go because the pub sells pie, the trails are mostly hardpack, the route isn’t too hilly (for all those who ate too much pie over Christmas) and the pub sells pie.

Can you make sure it doesn’t rain too?

Mmm… pie!

you can’t beat a northern pie, will there be gravy?

I’m in

Pub notified.
Pies booked.

Count me in. Probably.

yep – should be ok this week.

Its become noticable that the speed of the end climb back up the clough has increased due to the need to get the chilli jam pies first…

I’m a Jerk fan myself.

Since the recent good news there can be only one choice for those more dietary conscious among us 😀

I’m 100 miles away, I only follow these threads for the poster…..

I suppose I best rustle something up then…..

Aye gan on.

I’m in, provisionally. Still managing my back issues and marathon training.

I seem to recall that you were getting back on the vegetable wagon Mr Spider?

That poster looks more like it’s the dog turd edition. Superfood my arse.

Pie doesn’t count.

I’ll get the wife to punish me with a stick of celery when I get in.

Not a good image.

Can we have less of the passive aggressive stuff from the vegetarians please?

If they had a fridge behind the bar with a selection of omelettes and humous you wouldn’t hear us complaining 😛

i’m bringing my own pie.

humous. i’m bringing my own humous.

Bump.

[shhh]the weather forecast is for it to be clear and dry[/shhh]

Subject to the Mrs getting home at a decent time I’m going to try to make it tomorrow just so I can evaporate puddles and melt any carbon bikes with my new front light/miniature sun 8)

oooohhhh.. Whatcha got?

Took it out in the garden last night while the neighbours were having a fancy dress party.

so who is out tonight then? Me and Neal are coming down.

Me.

Me.

probably, but it depends on work.

Yes

I’ll be there

Me

Not looking great at the minute as the Mrs is stuck in a slowly moving northbound car park (M6). Fingers crossed though.

I’m in !!!

Bit off subject but if anyone is out and about riding around the ressies of north Bolton then watch out for a missing bridge on the path between Turton Bottoms and The Jumbles.

Not far after the slabbed section alongside the river, there is / was a bridge that was always pretty slippy and was positioned at 90 degrees to the trail. Well, its gone!

There is a large diameter waterpipe spanning the stream but it looks pretty iffy for crossing on – especially with cleats on!

I’m in

If I can finish work in next half hour then I’m in.

Got a massive headache, got completely soaked on the way home, and I forgot to charge my lights. If anyone wants to come over this way next week I can do a weatherproof(ish) ride from either Littlebrough or Tod. It might make me get off my arse and come out.

Tod sounds like a plan.

just finished work. Ah well.

Enjoyed that. Just what I needed after my half marathon yesterday. Though breaking my glasses after 3 miles was a pain in the hole.
