Does anyone have a HT11 tool they could bring, I've got a BB somewhere (might have to raid my emergency box for a superstar one :s ) but the tool has gone walkies 🙁

The little plastic one that tightens up the axel, pretty please?

Yes i do. You do mean the little metal one that tightens up the plastic bit on the axle don't you

😉

this one 🙂

got the spanner, but cant for the life of me find the other tool or my spare shimano BB, will a supertat one last 30 miles?

bring the spanner. I've got that. Mine's metal though.

just do it with a 50 pence piece

Ive never ever used the spanner that is supposed to attach to that part. Then again I finger-over tighten everything anyway!

Hora confusing himself with He-Man shocker 😯

I've got a few massive allen keys which might bodge it in so might not be nececary,

Everyone ok with harribo as a thankyou 😀

will bring my tools with me. Could you park in the layby in Edale? Im getting there for circa 9.30am in my new 'taxi' car

I say the car park so that we 'put something back' – and I'll have my big tool Hora anyway

I'm coming with the missus (whos going to spend 3 hours drinking pints of tea in the Woodbine) so will just be looking out for a group of middle aged IT bods of bling 29er fixies somewhere arround the train station car park :p

'put something back'

I will be using the carpark toilets if that counts?

spoon – there'll be a rockhopper rider on his back like a tortoise. That'll be me.

Iz eat all burgurz b4 you get there nom nom nom

off school for easter now 😀 fry up planned for me and have lots of SIS banana bars at the ready.

what route we doing again? 😛

a peaks one. It goes along, up, down, along, up, up, down, beside, up, down down, down, up, up, down, rest, up, up, fast down pub.

I can't do this now (I can't seem to remember saying I would be, but I more than likely did), so I may need removing from that list. Unless 'James' is in fact somebody entirely different to me, 'james' ..

…and I'm coming too Pook (but you knew that already) 😉

Wahey! How do Rich. Bringing your peekture box?

I'm out. Surgery beckons.
Look forward to seeing pictures :o)

ah, think i know that one! ill bring my cheapo helmet cam, not had a successful test yet though

slowrider – ygm

cheers pook, couldnt get it to work! im happy to just turn up and ride though…

ah right, well on a map…..

Edale, jaggers, hope cross, beast, rowlee farm, hagg farm descent, ladybower side, debated but ok climb through wood, hope brink to aston, bradwell, cement works, up pindale, dirtlow rake, cavedale, cake/chips/pint in castleton, mam tor old road, mam tor, hollins, edale.

ah wicked, a few bits i dont know.

had to re-fit the dual ply back tyre again, bloody tubeless pinch flats!

what don't you know?

well i never start in edale unless im doing the jacobs ladder ride, i havent followed hope brink down to aston for years and the bit from bradwell onwards i dont think ive done either. so quite a bit really!

fingers crossed for the weather!

possibly bringing the camera, depends on how many goodies I'm putting in my bag…..chocolate/sweets vs camera???

chocolates and sweets wins everytime.

I'm still planning to be there 🙂

I've just got a pass.
Is it ok for me to come out to play, too?

I'm afraid I'm definitely off the list. The wrist still isn't up for it, just about managing some gentle road rides, and going to have a little play on Sunday if I can but I think I'll struggle, even with a pootle, in the the peaks

I'm in.

Is it ok for me to come out to play, too?

Well du'h! 8)

I'm all set. Osteopath sorted my back for me 😀

Healing vibes Becky 🙂 looks like I will be the only 'girl' on this ride now 🙄

Anyone got a HTII bottom bracket spare? Sam's is falling to pieces – we've currently got it in bits here but the seals are knackered. Any contributions welcome….

(if not, he's going to risk it anyway)

I'm out, again! This ride is cursed. Pretty annoyed though, seems to be the same cycle everytime…

Train > Train > Train > Feeling Strong on the bike > Injury > Repeat

Knee problem, operation on the horizon, really bloody sore. 😥

No show for me I'm afraid. No wheels, or forks on the bike and in any case I've got to go to Telford tomorrow to do a job after having today off pricing work.

Which BB cup is the worst? I have a motley collection. Some better than others.
