    Is there a plan?

    I believe that the consensus was for a ride out of the Irwell Works Brewery at Ramsbottom. Decent sized ride taking in The Rake, The Tower, Edenfield, Coal Road, Cragg Quarry and Owd Betts.

    Earlier kick off time for a Bank Holiday Monday – how does 6pm sound?

    At the moment i cant guarantee attendance but will be disappointed if i dont get there!

    I dont have a good track record on Michaels Wifes Lane – ridden it twice now and had a snapped chain and an over the bars moment. Third time lucky eh…?

    Provided that I don’t come down with this bug that is currently sweeping through the rest of our household, I should be there.

    Wherever/whenever there is… Probably worth mentioning that if my last trip up there is anything to go by, the Owd Betts descent is likely to be very very gloopy indeed after the past weeks rain.

    You see! This is what happens when you let a bit of rain get in the way of a ride. It all goes to rat shit the following week.

    Provided I don’t come down with another bug I’ll be there too*. Been ill for the past 3 weeks out of 4 so surely it must be over now.

    *as long as it’s not raining. Doubt I’ll be healthy enough for that.

    I’ll be there. Surely Binners is in? We’ll be riding past his house.

    We could always come back down the Coal Road, that’s nice and quick.

    I am in indeedy. Just to remind myself what you all look like. Owd Betts will indeed be a quagmire. Right. Best do some artwork, hadn’t I. I’ve been slacking on that front too. apologies.

    Earlier is better and I’m in.

    It’ll be light so I probably won’t recognise anyone….

    In a monumental cock up after this weeks whitewater mountain biking extravaganza, I left my riding glasses (prescription due to crap night vision) outside the wine press.

    Fortunately gofasterstripes retrieved them but I am now dependent on them turning up on Saturday in the post due to the bank holidays.

    Fingers crossed. 😐

    Have they already been posted? I can personally courier tomorrow.

    EDIT: Stupid question, of course they have if you’re hoping for Saturday. Sorry, long 3 weeks 😳

    Have you filled in the application form and had it signed by two founder members? HTS is a bit of a stickler for procedure 😀

    Everyone’s welcome nickc. Bring lights and money for beer. (Bring plenty though cos first ride tradition involves getting the beers in 😉 )

    Aye, although as I’ve no idea what “frotting” is I’ve left question 113 blank.

    will bring sufficient money then…

    In that case bring extra chamois cream.

    nickc – I meant to mention it to you yesterday mate. I must have been overcome with the desire to get to the cheese shop*

    * this is not a euphemism

    Seeing as I’ve been slacking on the artwork front, I hope this marks a return to acceptable standards

    For anyone who fancies joining us monday. The Suns out! Might even dry things out a bit by then 🙂

    I appear to have done my back in over the past few days. I had to turn back early on a ride yesterday in bloody agony. 👿

    Hoping that it will sort itself out over the weekend!!

    So are we doing an early one then? 6pm is it? Can’t come soon enough after the crazy weekend I’ve had.

    6 or 6.30? Come on glorious leader! We need to know! Give us a sign!

    And I’m hoping that my back will be up to it. I too have had a shite weekend (work)

    I’ve had a great weekend. did 30 miles on the road bike and a 6 miles run today, and now despicable me is on, and in a bit; Skyfall.

    Oh, and chocolate.

    6pm from the brewery folks. Got a good route planned. It’s clear blue skies and sunshiiiiiiiiiiine!!!!!

    Also, that rarest of things…. No wind up at Cragg. The turbines are all hanging around looking useless. The daily Mail will probably be writing an article on them

    Daz will be shepherding you up from the Brewery to the shoulder, as I’m not riding down the hill, to turn round and ride straight back up it again. From that point, normal service will be resumed, and I shall be leading from the rear! 🙂

    it’s looking unlikely for me; got a knackered cassette that i’m gonna try to fix now but i need an early night anyway so probably will be giving it a miss. i think i’ll just go for a quick jaunt up to rivi instead (seeing as i can now see the pike from my bedroom window these days, it’d be rude not to!)
