Holcombe Brook / Peel Tower / Bucky Woods this week.
Meet at the Hare & Hounds at Holcombe Brook - BL0 9RY
8.15 Start
Bring lights and beer money!
i expect i should be there!
bet we can't see the isle of man though...
I've said I'm in for the last three weeks but not made it.
I WILL BE THERE.
Yo! Anyone wanna give me a lift?
I can get to Tod etc by train, but am based in Bradford (c'mon, have you no pity? ๐ )
Put me down as tentative.
My hand still hurts and wrist still clicks from the last ride Binners led.
Jesus, what did he make you do?
Show me where he touched you, on this Mint Sauce keyring.
On holiday. Back for the bank holiday one.
Jesus, what did he make you do?
This weeks ride will be embracing even more possibilities to injure yourself. Harry in particular loves the slippery rootfest that is Bucky Woods ๐
.
I haven't ridden in woods for ages ๐
Has Harry considered buying a soft compound front tyre?
P.S.
One of my two middle names is Harry. For a chance to win a packet of biscuits of your choice, correctly guess the other...
Bucky Woods? I'd rather blow a goat.
If peace breaks out* in da hood then I might be able to make this one..
*unlikely
correctly guess the other
Is it _the_Spider?
is it Barry?
Prince?
๐
Good good, no one's cheating then ๐
balls i was hoping this location might be saved for the bank holiday edition...
Is it Bo?
Did your mum have a combined love of jelly sweets and The Dukes of Hazard?
I'm reconsidering Bucky Woods considering the monumental amount of rain we've had over the last 24 hours.
Its not like we're short of alternatives
The goat is safe.
I know the venue is in question, but is anyone able to offer me a lift from along the train line (bradford-todmorden one)?
I think a lot of the Tod crowd are away on holiday this week...
Bumbumbumbum
Won't be able to make this or next week, but I have high hopes for the Bank Holiday edition..
im ooot bikes still in a thousand pieces
Help me, bestvetsarah, you're my only hope....
Who's playing then? Having just got back from a mammoth tour of Manchester with the two horrors (Breakfast, Retail Therapy,The Whitworth and MOSI) I'm knackered but determined to be there.
afternoon Gents, i am back on the market, is there room for lardy tail gunner this evening?
all depends on whether my new dining table gets delivered on time; if not, then no. might just go play on the new (to me) rivi trails that cha****ng showed us last week instead...
is there room for lardy tail gunner this evening?
Sorry but that position is oversubscribed already but we're always looking for apprentices. ๐
Yep - should be there + Tony & Neal.
Plenty of rear gunner competition this week!
Indeed. I'll be leading from the rear, as per usual.
I'll also be meeting you chaps up at the top of the hill, by the Shoulder, as having ridden up the Rake already, I'm not going all the way down to get you 'orrible lot, then ride back up again. Mohammed must come to the mountain, I'm afraid
Daz will be on cat herding duty.
The route will be a variation on the out-and-out-dossing-about one so loved by all, with a little twist to add in another interesting descent that not many of you will have ridden ๐
Looking forward to this one tonight!
If you're heading to the tower first I'll meet you there. I'm riding over via the horseshoe and like you Binners I can't be arsed going down to go back up.
Steve - from the Horseshoe its as easy for you to wait at the Shoulder of Mutton rather than continuing on up to the tower...
๐ Looks like hell came for me. No one to give me a lift.
Have a great evening, people.
Pedals are the glue that binds us,
That which forces dales behind us.
Enjoy the railed corners, the skids. Enjoy the flying decents, relying on your lids.
Enjoy, too, the uphill cursing,
Those achy knees and bums yer' nursing.
With this cheery wave I hope to send you whizzing, down the trail and over land with the tyres fizzing.
Muchos love people, ride like the wind. Or a big pie rolling at least.
It's been an honour.
Sam
Sorry but who are you? ๐
Razzzzz
Adios amigo, as they say in Holland.
Craig. I'll see you at the shoulder then.
Outstanding that tonight chaps. Perfect conditions for it, and my rear gunner status remained unchallenged. I was always confident.
Indeed binners, it was a belter!
Bloody strava. My ribs aren't too clever either.
