We've put the girls off doing a ride off 'shecycles' from Marple, on the same date.
They said beware 'those rough boys from STW are riding from there'.
Preposterous.

Gonna try and make it to this hopefully - will confirm nearer the time.

Like a goon on the Dragons Den - "I'm out" of this now as I've foolishly gone and booked some winter sun style break and fly out on the 8th.
I hope it's a good ride for you all.

If there are more than a handful coming I might come along if thats ok?
What kinda bike for that area? 120mm HT or 130mm FS?
Posted 2 years ago # -
I will be riding a 140mm FS, but normally ride a 100mm SS and formerly ride a 115mm HT till I killed it and replaced it with a my new 140mm HT
Seriously, there's nothing overly extreme on the ride, hardtail will be fine, I'm riding FS as it's new and I'm enoying it, I've done the route SS before now.
All comers welcome, the more the merrier. No-one gets left behind so don't worry about being to slow, if you;re worried about us slowing you down I'll have a word with Emmy and get her to rip your legs off doing laps of one of the climbs

Running the 'Langley 7' the day before.Posted 2 years ago # -
Cheers for that nbt, might bring one of my mates, a relative newb - but he's getting there
Posted 2 years ago # -
as long as this cold doesn't fully materialise, then i'll be there. and possibly slowest of all on the climbs, as nbt no doubt knows!

I might be there
Depends if I die in the Lakes at the hands of Solamanda the day before or not....

Still looking good for me.
Mary Townley the day before with The Animal (but his form is a bit pants and mine for reasons I can't explain is currently very pleasing. Should be fine).Posted 2 years ago # -
Going to post a roll call now on behalf of nbt, who's working.
The group size is looking good, wish I could say as much for the weather, hey! we're hardy types, it's what normally happens in the Peaks, a wee bit of rain won't put us off.

I wouldn't put too much reliance on a 5 day forecast round these parts.
Except that, in November, it will rain.
(unless it doesn't)Posted 2 years ago # -
You know the saying Higgo - if you can see the hills it's about to rain, if you can't it's already raining.

Keep a bit for me. BTW you're in charge of ripping the legs off fit people

I'll pass that on to my friend Dave as I'm afraid I've eaten too much cake recently!
