I’d got myself all teed up for this and got a call yesterday to say I could go in this Tuesday to have my gallbladder removed. So that it until chrimble for me at least.. Bugger.

Count Me in.

I will try not to repeat last year when I was sick on the first climb 😳

Boo hiss, I shall be peddling the mountains of Dorsetshire.
I have a cuppa and a Dorset knob to mark the day.

Edit : double post

Get in, wifey off – I’m in…. result.

Please can we ride up and down Rushup Edge all day………………………..

This sounds perfect, Ill make the trip over for sure! See you there! 🙂

Could be a goer, will check with SWMBO.

so stand on Hora’s shoulders.

He’ll be somewhere else if past experience can be relied on. 🙂

Me and my boy will be there all being well.

Looking forward to getting video evidence of Tom’s gate-opening abilities 🙂

Oh poop, I’ll be away in Wales trying to keep up, a pootle would have been much more appropriate for current levels of ‘fitness’.

Last years was grand, enjoy yourselves and if in doubt – go 🙂

Just seen this!! I’m a Definite, maybe!!

Anyone for brownies?? 😀

He’s looking forward to it. 🙂

Anyone for brownies??

Tom says yes please.

He’ll be somewhere else if past experience can be relied on.

Cheeky- that was only once and because the ride leader didn’t heed the warning about hurricane-force winds on the tops of Cut-Gate 😉

Brownies? Yes please.

Hora – you’ve been AWOL more than once on our rides…

We’re not riding rushup edge. In fact, I don’t think I’ll be rushing back to Edale any time soon.

We’re doing some fun, challenging trails but nothing that will kill any one new to group riding. I’ll properly plot it later to get distance and stuff worked out.

Oh, derby day… footy or bikes, footy or bikes…?

OK folks. So, the planned route is 19 miles with. 2400ft climb. However, that distance has surprised me so there are a number of short cuts available.

One removes 500ft and 3 miles, the second 400ft and 3.2 miles. There are more too, but we can look at these on the day if folk need them.

Don’t be put off by the distance, at least 6 miles is on quiet tarmac linking our bumpy bits up.

I shall ask MrsMomo to sign my pass for this, I’ve been meaning to get out on a pootle for a while now!

Not sure what the weather’s doing for this one just yet. Still, it’ll be good.

Just choosing a pub for post ride pints….

Pass signed, I’m in 🙂

I’m in it to win it.

I might make it across for this in which case I’ll see you in Hope. If DCC hasn’t levelled it before then.

Is it going to be a mass kinder trespass?

I’m in. I’ll be at the back 8)

I don’t think I’m going to make it… 🙁

Rachel

🙁

I’m sure that all you pootlers won’t mind but I’ve asked nbt if you could all have a minute’s silence, to remember our great mtbing friend and regular pootler Chris Turner.

I thank you.

I’ll be passing round the memorial jelly babies so we can raise a toast

Me and cat are in. No one has asked if we’re doing potatoe alley or the beast 🙂

See you Sunday

Karl

Bunnyhop – of course.

Hello folks, me again!

Just a few more details for you to prepare you for the Pootle experience…

10am at the main car park in Hope. It’s small-ish but we should be ok. I’ve not yet counted up how many people are coming though last time out we had 52 and we coped; obviously the chance of a mechanical goes up though.

Please bring spares and tools. Strap loose bits tightly to the bike – we once had a half hour wait (and a long run for me) to find an errant garmin.

As always we’ll have a little collection – just a few pennies for the mountain rescue.

And we’ll go to the pub after! Either the Travellers or the Old Hall. I’ll decide later.

Looking forward to it 🙂

Oh..
I’m in!

My vote’s for the Old Hall as they have better beer and I can have a fish finger butty

Have fun guys!

Old Hall it is then – they’re expecting us for butties!

Haven’t got pass agreed yet. Must remember to ask tonight.

Count me in as we so enjoyed last years, we shall bring Lincolnshire sunshine fingers crossed

I’ll be there having just changed my plans for the weekend

Just wondered if anyone is going up from the Derby area?

Train isn’t an option, looks like I’m watching the footy instead!
