10:30 at the trail head car park in Philips Park Whitefield.
2 hours / 15 miles. Medium pace.
Sounds ideal, but got the old man visiting from Spain / shoulder is recovering from Saturday. Let me know if it's a regular thing as I usually ride sole. Thanks
Oh... me me! Always wanted to have a ride around there but never got chance. Harry can you give me a x marks the spot for the meeting place mate ?
Saturday rides are a one off as the wife is away this weekend. Tuesday evening rides could start again soon though
Yes please! I can never do Tuesday nights, so Saturday sounds perfic! I'll try and get round a bit faster than last week. Shame the cows will prevent us from riding/wading/swimming across the Field of Despair eh? 😉
Hey guys I'm up for that 🙂
As you go over the bridge is that the car park down to the right? Not been there for bloody ages 😳
I'm always tempted by a night ride there, but have been told horror stories of feral youths gouging out BBs etc.
It be safe then?
Will there be:
1. bagpipes
2. the field of despair
no
no
Right then… I love it when a plan comes together!
Meet at 10:15 for a 10:30 blast off in the car park [url= http://www.bury.gov.uk/CHttpHandler.ashx?id=10872&p=0 ]here[/url]

Back at the car park for 12:30.
15 miles ish. Nice steady pace because if I’m late back the babysitter will sulk.
No talking about HTN. Me and Terrahawk have had enough of the bloody thing for the time being.
Sounds great see you there look for the blue shogun sport with the guy with a bright green Specialized 🙂
Andy
Sounds spot on. See you there.
I like the sounds of this, if you don't mind a stranger tagging along.
Sorry for being a bit dense, but is the meeting point car park the one next to the bridge over the M60 ?
Probably going to cycle down from Bromley Cross and meet you all there.
Cross the bridge and turn right after about 100m.
Never been to Philips Park so love to but not sure if I can make it yet. See you there if I can.
I need to see the Meccano Bridge as it was designed by a friend of mine!
Will definately do this the 'next' time but I'm away this weekend. Would probably end up harping on about how fab HTN was anyhow! 😉
Have fun!
Sounds good - hope to be there, if you're happy to have another newbie - not ridden with anyone off here before (apart from people I knew already!).
Bump!
Should be a good turnout on Saturday. I shall be bringing the HTN swear box. If anybody mentions the race they have to give me a quid to go to the “buy a decent radio microphone” fund.
Not going to make the ride now chaps. I will however see you, as I'm going to take the girls for a play on the new Phillip Park trails. Lily is moving up from 16" to 20" wheels. Its a big day! Look for her coming past you on the berms
Harry, sent you an email about contact details. I'm cycling down to the meet point.
See you all then.
Is the bmx track at this Phillips park or the other one, near the velodrome?
other one
Sorry I missed you Harry.. I didnt get to the car park till about 10.50. Had a good spin around though.
Hi guys had a excellent ride this morning nice to meet you all and enjoyed the run out 🙂
Good ride. Bad mechanicals total considering there were only five of us! 1 sheared off jockey wheel and 2 punctures.
Lowey - you missed a good un!
Thanks, guys. Great to meet you all, and I much appreciate the guided tour - lots of new places to ride, now.
