I like it when people hang free inner tubes in the trees…

Forget about the pictures we want the gossip.

Gentlemen never tell tales, don't you know that!

But seeing as none of us there could be accused of being a gentleman I'm pretty sure…

Well, it was a riot! Swords were crossed, battle was fought, with the final victor successfully staking his claim to the prize of a date with the lovely C_G and Aleigh, together!!!

Bet you all wish you'd come now eh! 😉

Here are my few.

Bet you all wish you'd come now eh!

dez – did you put some red stuff on my eye?! 😯

Fwoooor! look at all that chunky man flesh and aleigh checking out the BOO-TAY :o)

you're just jealous mark cos you lost!

Yup, absolutely! 🙁

Anyway, if anyone has learnt a lesson today about burning the candle at both ends today, it is me… Stopped off in a motorway service station on the way home as was feeling a touch tired, and needed to visit the little boys room… Dropped my shorts, sat on the bog, fell asleep for the best part of 45 minutes! 😳

Still, was worth it though 😉

Still, was worth it though

what, falling asleep on the loo?! each to their own and all that 😆

Thanks C_G and Bananaworld for organising and leading.

Sorry I disappeared without saying goodbye. I had the weirdest pain and I thought I was going to be sick, so I headed off to my car quietly.

Cheers to everyone for another great ride, will have to sort out something down this way for those of you who thought it was muddy! The answer to the duck question is apparently 10-15 years 🙂

Finally got them all uploaded..

Oooooh, pics coming in thick and fast!

So, there were 17 of us. We had a great day, everyone behaved impeccably apart from jedi who is a big kid at heart.

What do the nay-sayers say now then?

Shall I pencil in a date for the next one? 😆

pencil away

That sounds like a vote of confidence 😆

Twas a gamble admittedly, now just waiting for the Northern one in the Peak District 😉

So … get a move on guys cos my diary is getting full!

everyone behaved impeccably

Oh!

Obviously I wasn't trying hard enough then… 🙁

Looks like you had a good turn out & plenty of fun.

I must get some fitness back for the Northern branch of SinglesTrack ride.

Need to stop fixing bikes & ride them!

not too sure why tony was laughing at me 😯

Well, that was a great day. Good to meet so many cheerful folk, even the ones nursing raging hangovers. I thought the conditions at swinley weren't actually as bad as I had been expecting, just needs spring to start springing to get those trees soaking up the moisture.

what was the male:female ratio and how far is this from Scotland ❓

about 7.5 hours from Peebles
11 guys 6 females i think

My album shows 0 views. Is that cos no-one is interested or no-one has access? 😕

i had a look, is the view counter working?

I've had a look, honest, and the counter still says 0 views.

Ah, maybe that's what it is. thanks.

[edit] sorry, not "maybe" – "obviously" 🙂

❓

so, who were the 'fittest' there then?

endurance wise, obviously…

deffo not me, on any meaning of the word!

Great photos! Looks like you had a bazzin' day! 🙂

so, who were the 'fittest' there then?

Obviously me.
