Lovely. Sounds perfect. I'll see if Mrs PP can do her thing with some food. The pork pies went down well last year, so I'll see if she can do something savoury again.....
Sounds good. I think I may have a couple of other local riders interested too.
I'm interested, chances are my better half will come too 🙂

Right kids, Sunday the 9th of October. Rickie Cotter will be leading a Autumnal swish through the beech woods.
Sunday the 9th of October, Ruskin Mill College, Nailsworth, tea & cake from 9am, ride leaves 10/10:30.
🙂
Please scroll up and note Its 'The Fisheries' If you are coming from the A46 you will see a sign for Ruskin Mill and cafe, don't turn in here. Keep going up the hill to the next left turning. Peel left and left again into the carpark. Its a bit confusing as the college is called Ruskin Mill is quite a large site with multiple entrances.
Hope you all enjoyed the fantastic weather today, looks set to be dry this way for the week ahead!
This sounds fun. Is it OK to drop in on the day?
For sure csb!
Tang,
No camping the night before then? Dammit, was looking forward to that!
Can you recommend a place I could park up at for the night?
If you need to park up drop me a line (Mail further up) I'll certainly be able to help.
Thanks Tang!
Just a heads up, the weather is fantastic and the trails are good! Looks set till the weekend
I'm going to be in the area (sadly without bike) this is the area I first ventured off road back in the 80's 🙂 so may well rack up in the afternoon to donate/meet some of the Cotswold/STW Massive.
So if you see Ton's body double looking lost its me 😉
Excellent MrOvershoot
Tang, no worries about a place to stay. I booked a pitch at Thistledown. Will see you on Sunday.
YGM Willard, good choice! The Pizza on Saturday night are good!
Saddleback will be bringing Castelli Samples for bargain prices again, so come prepared!
Local rider owned sign maker has done the frame stickers again. This time pink!

Niche has gone and gawn mainstream !!!
😉
Excellent, hope you will be riding in those on Sunday!
Superman style on the outside of course !!
I hope you bring enough underwear (outerwear?) for everyone! Otherwise we'll all be jealous!
Box of assorted Castelli is coming. Cash only at ridiculously cheap prices, cash only and all proceeds to the nominated charities. Nice one Saddleback. If you have any Chris King questions, Ross the main tech guy at Saddleback will be riding.
Just shopped for the Curry, which I'll be cooking when you're riding. I'm going to try to join the ride for a bit if it looks all doable!
I'll be cooking when you're riding
Went last year and had a brilliant time. Gutted that I'm not going to be able to make it this year. Hope everyone enjoys themselves 🙂
I'll be bringing some bhajis and pakoras to go with that curry !
Just packing the car... It's a lovely morning for it! 🙂
Hello. Been away from STW for a while and just found out about this this morning (thanks for the heads up, BB).
I live just round the corner and fortunately have no other plans for today.
Room for a fat slow one at the back?
Right, running late as per usual, but should just about make it for 10am...
See you all in a bit!
Everything is going to plan so far so I should see you all sometime after 2:30
Great ride, good to see some old faces. Shame I had to bail as the food looked superb! Even had the bonus of being told to "ger off my laaaaand!"
Oh and did anyone else's back tyre seem to wear out really quickly today?
Nope, just you. #skidsareforkids
If I spoke to you thanks for letting me talk you to death (I don't get out much)
Curry & accompaniments was delish as was Mrs PP's sausage rolls.
Only just managed to resist the cakes as I have returned to a roast dinner 🙂
An awesome ride, great trail conditions, autumns finest weather, a fantastic bunch of riders, worthy cause, many thanks to Tang for making it happen, tasty grub, quality kit, some inspiring personalities & plans.
My legs earnt their dinner!
🙂
Great day, well worth he trip over from Northamptonshire. Fantastic area which i'll be back to explore more. Good company, and thanks to Rickie for the guiding . And as always...great cause!
Thanks all for making it happen.
Massive thanks everyone. Beautiful day, you're all ace! X £200 on it's way to Jenns nominated charities.
qwerty, will have to come out for a local ride with you sometime, there's lots of good stuff round your way I've ridden before but wouldn't have a clue how to find again, and probably much more that I've not done yet.
Can return the favour gladly at the FoD sometime, or pop up and can show you round the Wyre Forest if it's not too wet!
mboy - sounds doable. My emails in profile. Probably best done in the dry! Do you get time off mid week? I can sometimes work 3 out of 5 weekends, varies though.
Big thanks to Tang and Rickie for organising everything including the great weather .
Well done to Martin for sweeping up the lost sheep .
Well done everyone for donating your time , food and cash .
Second tranche of big thanks to Tang for organising the event, Rickie for being a bloody awesome guide and everyone who came yesterday for, well, turning up. Lovely to meet you all and a great ride.
By the way, Tang, what were the ingredients in the green dressing for the curry? I feel the need to make myself some!
Well, I have to say that you lot had a chuffing awesome day for it
...I thought to myself as I looked out of the window of the bedroom I was in, stripping wallpaper 🙁
Anyone loose some keys? College had some handed in this morning from the car park.
