I'd be more than happy to come along. I just think it would be nicer for everyone if we can all get along and respect one another, that's all.
Is that too much to ask?

Ooo ooo! I can make one for once! I'm in....I was going to spend the day building the new El Guapo....looks like I'll either have to do some late night building (no idea when...things seem stupid hectic!) or bring one of the other bikes....hmm....I'll be there though
Rudeboy, if you are unicoggering I may have to too
I'd come if it was a few weeks later. You seem fun to ride with Phil
elfin, for the culturally insensitive comment i apologise. are you going to CGs or coming to swinley on the singlespeed?
now, is it worth restarting the thread so that hopefully this one can fade into the distance? as its turned into something that doesnt quite fit the idea of an all welcoming swinley forum ride!
to everyone else reading this thread, please don't let it put you off coming to the forum ride. PaulD is a fantastic ride leader for the fast riders judging by the grinning faces last time, Thisisnotaspoon also arrived back at the carpark with a bunch of buzzing worn out riders
no matter how big or small the numbers that turn out (haven't had a small attendance yet :D!) its still a fun ride with no pressure other than the pressure you put on yourself if you join the faster groups
i've always said it doesnt matter if 5 people turn up or 50, i can't lose because i still get to go ride with friends and new faces
so to everyone considering coming, i hope you do as i genuinely look forward to meeting you all again or for the first time!
_tom_ we'll have to sort out visit at some point in the future dude
at some point before 3rd Jan our housemate will move out and we'll have a proper guest bedroom with double bed and if i'm feeling flashy, guest towels
if we get something organised before then it'll be one of my damn comfortable sofas on offer! either way it'd be great to meet up and go for a mess around in the woods... trying to organise camo16 coming down at some point in the future too.
Guest towels are all well and good but I see no mention of a mint or chocolate on the pillow.
i've been rumbled
*runs off to buy mint imperials*
Would loved to have come but on a Canal boat that weekend.
Have a good one people, will def try and make the next!
Going to the cycleshow that day but even if i wasn't the arguing here would put me off, doesn't seem quite so sexy all of a sudden

Ta Phil. Stil wishing there was a way to make time/get down/fit my bike in my Fiat Panda...
Ah well. Enjoy it and no fighting now!
doesn't seem quite so sexy all of a sudden
That's surely because I'm not going... more than anything else?
Elfin - why don't you apologise now for using the forum for negative purposes on a thread that is about as inclusive, positive and welcoming as possible, have a hug with Phil and squeeze each others butt-ocks?
.....but even if i wasn't the arguing here would put me off, doesn't seem quite so sexy all of a sudden
I'd imagine quite a few lurkers might hold that opinion now.
START A NEW THREAD! Minus the bickering!
Can we keep this one for bickering then?
Flashy - your bold typing is sarcin!
even if i wasn't the arguing here would put me off, doesn't seem quite so sexy all of a sudden
i understand
sorry everyone, definitely not how i wanted this tread to turn out.. the swinley 'sexy parties' only started in response to a forum member starting a thread about being lonely and wanting a way of meeting new people and hopefully riding buddies!
Nobby, is that you Nobby?
".....but even if i wasn't the arguing here would put me off, doesn't seem quite so sexy all of a sudden"I'd imagine quite a few lurkers might hold that opinion now.
That's why I asked about name badges - to make it is easier for people to find Elfin...
started a new thread, lets hope it stays a positive one!
apologies to everyone again

Never going to happen Cap
The EEE (east end ego) will eventually land and deposit it's messy load over any thread, no respec' innit
I don't really do forum rides, but I'd quite like to do this one, (as long as certain people (person) aren't going, shame it's so far away.
not sure where you live kingtut but the past couple of rides have had people organising lift-shares from various areas
the start time is 'meet at 11:30 to ride at 12' to allow people time to travel down so if you do want to come then the register your interest in the new thread
camo16? are you the guy on the chameleon singlespeed with the panda 4x4 with the sills held together by chequer plate?

Not me, guv.
I'm the guy who rides so durned fast I spark stories of mini tornadoes across the NW!
