Will it be alright to bring a couple of mates along to this? Both fairly new riders, though they certainly wouldn't struggle for pace if it's just a social ride... Just wanted to check as it's only polite!
Aye, more the merrier

How much is the hire of them costing you 😉
Let hope he's not paying by the hour as I'll make the route longer and harder 🙂
You wont need to. 😀
WTF has need got to do with anything!
Ok, you wont have to.
Depends on mud kos if it's muddy the Spot will be out!
Swede, good point!

A lot less than your last experiment with your local rent boy... 😉

Flat fee I'm afraid, I know how to barter a good deal and get my money's worth! 😉
Never managed to make one of these rides before, which is a shame as I live in the area, however I will be around on the 30th so plan to come along.
Any clues on the route ? I may get dropped off at Kilkenny but live in Nailsworth, so if the route heads over that way I could save 20 miles.
We won't be going near Nailsworth but you're more than welcome as long as you don't need to rent your friends like Riggsy above.

That routes only muddy once per year ... from November till April 😉
Me and MrsSSP might be along 🙂
SSP
Strangers 😉
I really should check STW more often - found out about this last night and have a pass to join you mugs for a day out riding the super groomed Cotswold trail centre trails!
Sheldon / Nettles - Thinking about inviting a mate who's new to riding - how socialable is super social pace?
If Sheldons comming it'll be super sociable 😀
If I carry on eating at this rate, most of my saddle will disappear when I mount my bike...25 miles might seem hard work 🙂
Hi, Should be able to make this one, never been to the Cotswolds before so looking forward to it. Sadly, the only thing I have that would be niche enough is a road bike. It would be a laugh off road though 🙂
Probably a goodchoice for the mud!!!!!
Barney, no probs mate I'm fat and slow!
LOL - That's like saying I'm bald! Known it for years!
Right then, it's only three days away, any more?
I might come along with the white shoe racer.
As long as none of the other Knights Of Niche are there.
It's uncool to all be seen together....
Aye oop chaps
Is this still on for tomorrow then? What are the conditions like?
I'm thinking of driving from manchester in the morning. IHN - any chance you could mail me a contact phone number on binandbop AT hotmail DOT com. As I'll decide in the morning depending on the weather (NB: I've had 2 pretty big offs riding in the ice over the last week. As the bruises on my legs bare testmony too)
Thats if I'm allowed to come. My bikes not even remotely niche. Could someone lend me a titanium singlespeed 29er please?
Actually... on second thoughts... don't! 😉
Will I get run out of town if I turn up with a Clown bike with GPS attatched?
Its wet in Gloucester right now. Inital forcast was snow but that might have changed to heavy rain now.
hmm Which eyewear for Turkey Burner?
YGM Binners
To be fair, you may well be the only one on a 26" wheeled, 27 geared aluminium full susser, so you'll be entirely niche.
*whispers* You're not bringing Hora, are you?

Alas no..There are [i]three[/i] of us..All packing 5 inches
(Although for the riding I am capable of, 1/2" would be more than sufficient)
This is going to be a leisurely ride isn't it... not only am I really not fit at the moment, I'm recovering from a chest cold and will more than likely be hungover 🙂

If wokboy's leading it and how slow he was yeterday is anything to go by you'll be able to walk round faster. 😉
'splosions right I've got a bout of manflu so pace will be slower than average. I may even have to resort to bringing a niche 27speed hardtail!
I've got a bout of manflu
I think you've given it to me too.
Mandi has now got it but she only has a wee cough!
Paddi has dogmanfluattentionwhorism.
LOL at Paddi.
He needs to DTFU.
LOL, he does? His paws are saw after running round the Climax then going for a long swim ;-0
Its getting snowy up standish...

what is the road to killkenny like if it is the same story there?
I can't walk again so I'll be pulling out. Nothing to do with my Glenmorangie stock depletion or chrimbo sexual activities. Just a weird thing I got going on with my tendons. Hopefully 😯 Have a sloppy one peeps.
Crap news Swede ;-(
And the bad news is that I have clearance from Mission Contol to attend tomorrows likely slop-fest. I do have mild some man-flu, so I might still wimp out, but I'm just off to the garage to pump me tyres up.....
🙂
Peter I've got manflu and I'm leading! No excuses 😉
Thanks for organising this BTW chaps. nice to have a change of scenery now and again . look forward to it
Cheers Don, it's not all bad though. I have been able to not wash and drink every day for two weeks 😀
Woohooooooo uber niche on my overkill 5" full suss wih a full compliment of gears. Setting off nice and early in the morning. By the looks of the weather forecast i may be in for quite a journey
What snow tyres for the M6 toll?
you're using the m6 toll you'll need special tyres as you'll be going the wrong way pal! M6 to M5 is what you need!
Now, I realise that anticipation and excitement level are at fever pitch already, but I feel that I should tell you that I am preparing possibly the greatest ride snack ever. It's an old favourite, but with a seasonal twist 🙂
On more sober news, the weather looks funking awful...
