The Agenda
1) Meet at the pub – 8:15 Church Inn.
2) Go for a bike ride, I’ll try and come up with a route that avoids the really swampy bits.
3) Have a pint or two and talk rubbish.
If anyone has any suggested venues for future rides please speak up.
I'll be there.
Smashing.
I'll probably wimp out of the pub though...week before the Strathpuffer innit.
I'm in too. I'll probably risk damaging my finely tuned athletic physique with a pint or two....
And a packet of dry roasted.
And half a loafs worth of cheese on toast when I get in.
Craig's had his bike half inched but I'll send him a text to see if he wants to borrow my other bike...
Yes please.
See you all there.
Craigs had his bike nicked? You're joking? Little ****ers!!!
Going to see if my shoulder is up to riding, with a local pootle tomorrow. If so then I'll be there. If not, I might pop down anyway for a pint, 7 tequila's, a few flaming sambucca's then projectile vomit on Terrahawk

looks like we're due a few dry weather days. Just for the novelty value
Hurrah! Will be there if we have a working vehicle.
Everyone has a dodgy knee/sore throat/broken fingernail every time we mention Todmorden 🙁
Todmorden broke my bike*
* Disclaimer: this might actually have been due to my own clumsy ineptitude
It was a really nice walk back to the car though

Note the absence of a chain, and the jaunty angle of the rear mech

Aren't all your bikes shagged anyway? 🙂
Will try and make this, am out all day Sunday so will see how I feel.
Is there plenty of parking at the pub?
Loads. What are you bringing?
Maybe 2 or 3 vehicles depending, as it's a narrow dead-end road innit?
it's not narrow. loads of space to park cars.
Two or three vehicles?
Road is wide but only a couple of hundred yards long.

Bump.
Doubtful for me. I'm a bit broken in various ways right now.
🙁
Will the mythical El Guapo ever be seen in anger?
It's been seen already!
I've seen it!
Still in...
Although the icy trails above Hollingworth conspired against me this morning and did their best break my neck!
Shall be there with beer tokens.
Pretty shagged after work today - If I feel better tomorrow I'll be there, but with less lights on my bike.
Lemme check but hopefully, I have a new light that isn't sh1t bought for me as a Christmas present from tthew
I want more details after Clover's throwaway comment about working in Sierra Leone.
I worked in Hull for a year once and I thought that was pretty extreme.
Hull? I could never work in Hull.
I'll not make it behind on work and need to play catch up 🙁
I'M in, see you there.
PS Are you joining us Emily?
I'm afraid a trio of broken unfit ramsbottomers are officially laming out, and going local instead. Have a good'un chaps and chapesses
Monday nights aren't the same
Without a binners 11th hour cop out! 😉
I 'm broken. Well.... Important bits of me are. Snot fair!
That.... And Terrahawk scares me

That picture now comes up when type "binners" into Google.
Well, that was fun in a masochistic kind of way.

T'was ace. As usual.
Thank you,another good one (they always are)
Thanks for that. Glad I dragged myself out and thanks for waiting 🙂
Seem to have brought quite a lot of Prestwich back on our clothes & bikes. Luckily noone checked at the border.
The erosion caused by the Monday Night Pub Ride is redistributing the height above sea level around the North West. Pretty soon you will have to weigh yourself in and out with any difference being mechanically reclaimed. Remember to get a receipt for your beer and crisps and if you go to the loo.
Tangly... got a link for that light of yours?
Kit has had to go through the washing machine twice.
All mine is still on the garage floor until the wife goes to work tomorrow. I'm going to jetwash it all first though like Peaty in Seasons. 🙂
I undressed in the back garden and then pre-washed everything in a bucket. fun.
You looked immaculate when you came back for that fork. We all still looked like we'd been in a niche Japanese porn film*.
*Apart from Tony Teflon with his magic rear mud guard.
will try to join yers all for a pint on Monday if you're local and I'm alive/awake/not in traction.
