I'm trying to get fit again and have Sunday free and would love to come out for a ride. I live in Warwickshire, but can travel anywhere within 70-80 miles of here, so Cannock, Woburn, Thames valley are all accessible.
I'm a bit (lot) slow at the moment but would love to get out again...
Anyone got anything going on please?
Normally a cannock chase ride from MD 9:30 if i remember correctly, worth checking out the Chase Trails forum.
Off road I assume Pepper?
Yeah, although I've got road bike if Not! Funnily enough you're the one of the few people I see still posting on here after all these years.
Are you still over Woburn way?
Ok, anyone else out there with any other ideas??
I'll be out for an early one on sunday in the land of cannockshire if you want a guided tour of off piste stuff
Rich, if you're up for a ride Sunday, would be good to see you. It's been ages!!!
Where do you fancy riding? If you wanna go with the Wyre Forest boys (I quite fancy giving it a go), then come pick me up on the way! 😉
Thanks Tazzy I would love to come up to Cannock for some off Piste, but I'll hang off for a couple of months if I may as I'm so unfit!
Mark we'll do Wyre Forest and yes I'll pick you up on the way pastish! U still in Worcester??
I'm still on my old mobile number
Wyre Forest rides tend to get arranged on BikeRadar.
Keep an eye on [url= http://www.bikeradar.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=12602037&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=2960&sid=fe0df58b85bd24e3dc14124c131af56f ]this thread[/url] for future rides.
There's normally a ride at Woburn setting off about 10 with the Cyclone MTB club.
I'll probably be there too but I'll be on a fiddling ride sorting out my new bike settings

I'm heading through on my crosser, from Leighton Buzzard to Millbrook and back. Not been off road since November.
Thanks everyone, but Wyre Forest here we come!
Oldgit, funnily enough I could have coped with that as my "road" bike is actually a Lemond Poprad CX Bike.
Man up and go race the first round of the NPS 4X series in Lemmington!
Ohh Propad, I think you should give that to me. Did I once ride with you years back around Sundon way and you were on that?
Muddy. You might see us at the Duke in the morning.
I wonder if the tandem would fit down some of the Wyre trails? 😉

We have ridden together IIRC, but it was off road around Woburn!
Cove Hustler?

LOL, I really don't see myself as a 4X type of person these days! I'm afraid having children/responsibilities, getting older, and getting fatter have put paid to ideas like those!
Nah, that sounds more like Martin Robinson, 2unfit2ride, I bought the Poprad off him though!
I'm the BIG lad who rides straight through puddles rather than going round them.
Decided not to take the tandem on a group ride with folks we didn't know in case we accidentaly ran someone over with it. 😯
The fatbike was great fun round there though.

Horse hoof prints certainly posed no problem at least! 😉
Cheers for the ride people, t'was rather agreeable...
So Mr PePPer did you venture out for a ride today? All these generous offers, but I imagine non were take up! Why oh why do people request invites then qualify offers with excuses? 🙂

Why the concern?
Why the negative attitude?
And why does it concern you anyway?
For the record, he's probably not long been home as he had a bit of a way to travel, but he did pretty well considering he'd not been on a bike in over 6 months!
Not concerned in the least.
Just done a 75 mile ride with some buddies.
Just consumed a bottle of wine and feeling smug and cynical. 🙂
coleman, is your real name Peter enis ?
Probably! But this is the Internet and I don't care.
FWIW Pepper had a huge smile on his face today every time i saw him. 8)
[s]Horse hoof prints[/s]Climbs, descents, flat bits, rooty bits, steep bits, techy bit's, jumpy bits and blokes on ugly Maverics certainly posed no problem at least!
😆
Thanks everyone for a great ride today,
Coleman, if I wasnt going out riding I wouldn't have asked to tag along, I warned everyone that I would be slow, but if I say I'm going somewhere then I'll be there. I've been riding with people off here for over 10 years, we've ridden on rides all over the country and have always been made welcome!
Now please get back under your bridge x
I think we rode together once pepper. Was it you with the camper?
Yup, had an old nail of a VW camper, that was a few years ago now though!
Probably at a FOD weekend 😉
No - Cannock. You were with RiggsyB? and someone else?
I as on a Kobe Ti singlespeed....a few years ago now though.

oooh, can i have a signed photo?
hello pepper i rode with you at a FoD SS ride i think, you were on a Trek Liquid?
It will have probably been K and riggsyB, if you hadn't guessed riggsyB is now mboy on here 😉
RD yes I did have the Trek Liquid, otherwise known as the gate!
i think you were sweeper to Psling that day
Sweeper means I can stay at the back and pretend I'm doing something useful 😉
Well it does look like there are more people than I thought still hanging around on here, hello everyone old and new!
[pops head over parapet] Hello Rich! Much reminiscing going on here; FoD, Woburn, Cannock ~ great rides from the earlier days of STW 😀 All seems very relevant what with it being the 10th anniversary of Singletrack and all that. Good times. Plenty of us [s]boring[/s] old f@rts still around. And a few newer ones 😆 [/pops back below parapet]
Hi Pete, glad to see there's more of us old timers around here still!
I can't believe how many of us still lurk around here reading the threads after all these years!
i vote to bring back the old bunkhouse rides 😆
And Mmmmaassive beds.
Now this thread is turning wierd!! 😉
It gets even weirder ~ a couple of weeks ago the room above the garage at my old place went up in flames. The cause: overheating lights in a cannabis cultivation unit!! It wasn't the morris dancers though, you'll be relieved to hear... 8)
Hi rich , Hi K ,Hi Peter
are you Honc'ing this weekend Peter ?
Hi chaps, can I be left out of the big bed thing please, you all know I'm far to civilised to slum it with you oinks 😉
