Bunnyhop - fantastic flapjack! Thanks again

Thanks for today, it has reignited my interest in riding

That is really good to hear.

stilltortoise - loved the name badge. With any more preparation time I would have done one, and I certainly will for next time

h4muf - sorry for whipping past you guys when you'd come a cropper. I was looking at the trail rather than who was on the side and thought you were someone else on the way up!

Swampi - you probably only missed us by 10 minutes. Next time!

Right, I really must get to bed now...

me like a plonker didnt get there till just gone 10.30 and no one was there except a burger van and a madison van/cple of cars...arse....must leave earlier next time

Bugga. Next time we'll have to email a couple of numbers around to avoid this.

h4muf, it gave us the chance to have another ride at that descent again

You could have told me about the loo's at Fairholmes

...and spared me the anquished cry from the woods as i passed!

really great day out yesterday everyone. My knee's a bit raw and bruised but that's what you get for jumping about in the snow in shorts!

Looking forward to the 13th

:o)

PS: jules, did you get the other shot of me properly flying? would love to see it

i feel surprisingly good today, i thought I'd not be able to walk. the bike is a different matter, every time i used the back brake riding out of Sheffield station back up to Hillsborough the whole bike juddered and made such a noise people across the road turned and stared

Bunnyhop - Me thinks all the cake was eaten before hand so no-one else got a look in, 'points finger at podge'
I offered my cake about, Hora had some, Sam was too busy trying to kill Chris with the worlds largest screwdriver and no one else was interested... I'll bring more next time

oh and just checked out the pics, i clearly have some kind of phobia of cameras, i look uneasy in all of them

Hora had some
I wanted all of it but Podge did the School/fingers held tightly in a band to stop naughty hora

I rode around Hebden this morning and my left quad feels like its going to collapse.

Brilliant ride yesterday guys! Once again Chris cheers for the organisation, i'm also looking forward to the 13th and another epic thread!

Also Nbt - great photos, thanks for that!

Is there another ride on the 13th?
Sounds like you all had a good day

Posted 2 years ago #
hora - Member

MarkB, yes however we do need to eat at the Rambler. Best Burgers around IMO. Pook, the other place further up- I'd drink there (better pub atmos) but I'd rather eat at the Rambler if that makes sense?

Thanks all for a great ride and thanks Chris for sorting it all out. Had a great time.

Should be back off honey moon by the 13th so will get her in doors to wash and unpack and i'll try and get out for a ride. After a week on our own i'll be ready for a normal conversation!!!

I should be OK for the 13th. I already ~~told~~ asked the Boss. Looking forward to it. I will bring my fixie single-speed unicycle with flat tyre and buckled rim; I can't have Will doing all the hard work by himself

Thinking of giving my bike a paint job with a nice "stilltortoise" graphic on the downtube...or should I just bring a typewriter label again?

I think nbt should enter one of those eating competitions. I bet around his way the "all you can eat Buffets" have gone bust because of him

skiprat, I was both shocked and deeply appalled that you turned up this time and climbed with ease. Leaving me at the back to push as usual

Have you been secretly training?!

Posted 2 years ago #
skiprat - Member

what can i say.....15 mins on the turbo trainer did wonders!!

Anyway you've some need to talk, you tell me off for riding up one field and then bomb straight off up the next one. A case of pot and kettle here me thinks!!

Coat is 180 tall 104 chest
