[Closed] FOD STW SS forum ride Sunday 7th November riders

How far you going?

Carefull Tootall...

if you're going and fancy sharing transport, I may be up for this...

MrTall is coming along too.

TooTall

How far you going?

I like the sound of this, but I think I want to ride the monster truck bike and that has gears.

Swede - I have heard about you.

*narrows eyes and looks suspiciously at the turnip'd one*

Gears are banned I'm afraid as I can't be added to wait in the car park whilst they are fixed, before the ride.
Bring a ss, it's not a race no one will get left behind*
Distance? Who cares if we're all having fun!

Oh and we'll pass a pub too!

* well not for too long.

I don't do SS - I have gears and a 'king big bike that needs more riding. 29er and 23" frames are niche enough for me.

am at work 😥

I,m in better be worth the trip down 😉 staying over @ the bunkhouse next to the pub,maybe bringing two others !

I'm not comited enough to be a maybee

I am comitted to being a yes man so I will be there

I thought the ayatollaofniche was leading this one who is 'tolla' ?

X

I might be there too. Depends how knackered I am after nights on the Saturday.

Wouldn't bother then Rich, everyone knows the FOD is flat with no Singletrack.
KOS do I know you?
Mick you have to attend as I want yo see you ride a clown bike with nae gears!

Or suspension...

or style 😉

I would very much like to attend. Been ages since I rode in the FoD.

You're more than welcome Thurman Merman as long as you're on a ss!

as long as you're on a ss!

Fascist bully boy!

will there be enough attention for everyone ?

will there be enough attention for everyone ?

No. tollah will be trying to steal it all.

I'm in but not sure how long my SS will last - something feels a bit loose and its making odd noises already.

That will be your knees! 😉

Fascist bully boy!

Yup! Only against geared riders as they get in the way and faff too much!

Sofaking, not sure whether they'd be enough attention for Stu's wok munching frontend.

That will be your knees!

😛

btw how will I know who I'm meant to be meeting? Do I follow the scent of real ale?

My car's a bluey grey 08 Fiesta (matches the bike ;)) if that will help anyone to indentify me?

There'll be a haze of niche in the air BUT the biggest give away is that we'll all be on SS and not talking to each other as we're too important and niche to socialise.

Depends on their mechanical ineptitude. I have yet to see a magic SS that never breaks.

I shall be there if I can find this Pedalabikeaway place, is it pretty easy to get to?

BUT the biggest give away is that we'll all be on SS...

Yeah it is easy to get to, postcode for sat nav is GL16 7EH.

Tom, Psling lives there! If he can't find it someone has stolen it 🙂

😉

this is next week isn't it, where did October go, get rid of 8 gears in 6 days, gonna be tough

superglue your shifters 🙂

I haven't even got time to grow a beard.

Do they all own black and white televisions as well?

[i]Do they all own black and white televisions as well?[/i]

Got a colour tele but a Black and White license 😕

No but they're all colourblind.

What's a television? Is it like a wireless?

I'm going to be riding in the FoD with another group that day but would love to come and join you afterwards if you're going for a pint or something. Plus I've got the next day off too so am contemplating pitching a tent somewhere and riding more FoD on the Monday...

And yes, I'll be on the [s]nichemobile[/s] Solitude. 🙂

: P

Pete, pints will be drank at the Fountain Inn Parkend during the ride!

Brownies on order from www.a2zest.co.uk/

You could try these gears!

oops does that make a 2 speed post ?

Maybe (if i don't get away up North)

But it would mean i have to build up the SS which is in bits, grow a beard and find a remote speck of fitness all in 5 days 😐

Or just turn up with gears and

to the lot of ye

Lol @ Houns, we know you don't ride bikes Houns and are just coming to stalk Stu 🙂

I haven't been to the FOD, which stalker suit would you recommend?

[img] [/img]

You'll need mossy for the velvet garden but you need wood for when you make contact with him :-0

which stalker suit would you recommend?

which ever one is waterproof, it looks like it's gonna rain!

Not according to the forecast I'm looking at!

BigTed, yummmmmm

but tollah, you will be looking to see if the scales on a pine cone close or not because all FoD riders are 6 fingered bumpkins 😉

FOD dwellers my learnerd friend not riders!

what's a bit of polydactyly between friends 😀

Indeed you are correct! At least we're not fat 🙂

yeh thanks for reminding me of my indiscretions! From now on I shall be nice and fluffy and polite at all times. I shall also strive to be the moral compass on this forum 😆

Houns if you want someone to ride around at the back with, talk about IBS and go home early, i might be your man 8)

Or just turn up with gears

Why bother? You'll just have a bunch of luddites wearing sackcloth and ashes complaining about your geared bike ruining their ride. It would be like taking a combine harvester to an Amish farm and not expecting to be shunned for your ungodly ways.

Ooh, is that nerve really raw to touch tootall?

I think you should come anyway TooTall, so i can have an eye to eye conversation with someone a proper height and also have a quick spin on your Turner so i can compare it to my Salsa. 🙂

Besides, the funny noises coming from the BB and rear hub on my SS Inbred make me think if there are going to be any mechanical problems on the day, it won't be from the geared bikes......

Ooh, is that nerve really raw to touch tootall?

Nah - just going to take the 180 degree opposition to those who want to be more niche than a niched thing.

Lol @ Houns, we know you don't ride bikes Houns and are just coming to stalk Stu

He'll have trouble stalking me if I'm not there. 😆

Who's going to get the attention then Stu as I'm not allowed to seek any because Matt said so.

Cheesy should be able to seek a bit out with his new Ti ego chariot.

"this was once ridden by a wokgod"

I don't have a problem with people bringing geared bikes, as long as they buy me a beer/cake when I catch them shifting.

Oh, shi[b]f[/b]ting, mis-read that for a moment...

are you wobbling this year Peter ?

Not this year Matt (unless I can get there for the Sunday). Working Saturday 🙁

thats a shame Peter, we will have to meet up for a ride soon.
not much point coming over Sunday, we are all usually too ill to ride 😳

we are all usually too ill to ride

LOL! Never mind Sunday, that goes for the following week too! I can remember most Wobbles but that one year I'll never forget, for all the wrong reasons 😐

Back to the point. is anyone having a pint on friday night? I won't upset anyone with my SSCX but would like an excuse to wander down to the Foutain instead.

Friday? The ride is on Sunday Matt!

And??? isn't any one starting early?
All right how about saturday night?

Just seen this, does anyone mind if I tag along?

Oh and as a quick check list

Beardy - Yes
S/Speed - Yes
Niche - Does 29 front/26rear fully rigid steel count?
Attention Whore - I think the name says it all

Will be driving from Bridgend if anyone needs picking up along the way.

May be up for this, just need to sort out rugby duties and a domestic. If I can come then there will be room for three more in the CRV, now I have the new bike racks...TooTall?

Anyone who is on a ss is welcome 😉
