Dig out those water proofs boys and girls.
Stand up and be counted.
nbt is leading a gritty, rocky, hilly, muddy,swoopy, fun filled ride around the lesser known part of the Dark Peak.
All welcome, sociable pace, however a smidgeon of fitness is required 
me please 
Is this the bit where I raise my hand and say 'I'm in'? 
me and mart poss plus others g
is there suitable terrain for me to christen my new bike?????????
Tsk - would love to join in and despite my sometimes abrasive attitude on here I'm fine when riding. However, the crappy little 3 series I have at the moment won't accept my Enduro from any angle, never mind what I take off it.
Don't suppose anyone from the Matlock/Darley Dale area is going with a spare space?
What's this one Ton?
Add me as a nigh on definate +1'ish
What's this one Ton?
helius fr......but built light....... 
Oh yeah, I saw the piccie, mahoosive tyres though?
I might bring my Helius CC now 
built light perfect for you then ..will see what parts I want from it
I am a probable and will confirm Fri/Sat
Count me in!
I'm in, as long as my shoulder continues to improve
nbt - you're leading!!
I'm in, travelling from Runcorn if anyone wants a lift.
i'm out, i've got children duties this weekend. Hope the weather is better than last weekend.
Yup I'm in.
So long as the rain is falling to earth rather than going sideways into your face it'll be more pleasant than last weekend.
is this a 'bringalonga cake ride'?

if i am there I will, as always bring some cakes.
cheers nbt... I'm be sure to make you a 'special' slice for that
Erm......What time we starting? and where from?
Arse. Away with the family in Patterdale. Thats 2 rides I've missed now.
There is even talk of me being dragged along to horse riding on Sunday, god forbid.
Have a good one people, I'll be there in spirit.
I think so. I might bring a mate along as well.
should be g
So long as the rain is falling to earth rather than going sideways into your face it'll be more pleasant than last weekend.
oh, hang on...... answers will be 'Sunday, all day long.......'
i'm also a "should be". will confirm at the weekend as the cold is still loitering a tiny bit and it gets on my chest really badly...
how far will it be?
We had a reccy about 2 weeks ago and it came in at 23.5 miles.
It is very hilly though, so even though that doesn't sound alot, you'll feel like you've done more by the end.
There are places to bail out/cut sections out if needs be.
I'm in unless the Mary Townley ride on Saturday has a competitive edge. In which case, I'll be trying to get the feeling back in my legs on Sunday.
Yes I'll be there, with the OH. Be good to see you again bunnyhop!
23.5 is the base - we can increase it if need be, but I think we'll be cutting it if anything as the weather is not forecast to be brilliant so the pace may be slower. We can decide on the fly.
Lots of faces coming I haven;t seen for a while, and lots of new faces. Looking forward to it!
Waves to Trio and Al.
*bump for the last working day of the week.*
Fit your crudcatchers folks, it's been wet here this week!
if I can shake off the man flu i'll be there, it will be my first Northern Chapter ride so be gentle with me
Meh not gonna make it - made myself ill again last time I went out biking. 
woop woop... metcheck (yes I know it's not reliable) reckons 
for Sunday daytime (stockport)
we'll be there come rain or shine , will pack sun lotion and waterproofs .
I'm almost certainly out. My stunt double to take my daughter to Man City has dropped out and my mate is insisting on the Mary Townley tomorrow no matter what time so that'll be a ridiculously early start, near kill myself riding and get back in time for the match!
Somebody please kill me now.
grumm - was hoping you could come, then we could share notes on our illness situation. Mines under control at the moment. Hope you feel better soon.
barca - I think you'll be fine, it's sociable pace, not a full out, racy, ego fuelled macho ride
hp_source - can you bring lots and lots of jelly babies, we've got extra sour haribo.
Sadly J, tomorrows ride is now on a 5'ish (but not much more or I'm snookered) hour schedule so I suspect know I'll be hobbling on Sunday.
I'll do my best to get there for the start. I was looking forward to it.
