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

Next time then Grantway! It was originally going to be a two dayer but no takers!

OK Tollah thank you for the reply and roll on next ride 😉

might see you wok smugglers tomorrow, if I don't make it have a good one and don't get too coated in dog eggs

Are white shoes allowed?

I met thekingofsweden tonight. He was proper uber-niche royalty and no doubt. I wasn't allowed to look him directly in the eye - I had to use a small mirror and avert my gaze whilst addressing him (reverently of course). I was most certainly humbled in his presence. I do feel a better person for having met him tho.

I long for the day I meet someone that's met The KoS.

Is it true that he's so singlespeedy that if a geared rider looks at him they instanly become cooler by assosiation and sell all there mainstream geared tatt in the hope of being "a bit more like him"?

Only if you learn to spell association

Assos
See what he did there 😉

🙄 8)

Subliminal advertising eh stu. New sponsor?

Urghhhh?

KOS did text me and tell me he was in the presence of a geared rider, he was quivering 😉

Tazzy, I've got some beer for you in the car from Cheezy, if you're not there on the morrow, you will have to forfeit it to me;-)

White shoes? Your new ones arrived then phatlad?

new sponsor?

Yep.

Woks'r'us have offered me a deal.

White shoes = Disco Slippers!!

Yup here's Stu's new body armour.

Is it true that he's so singlespeedy that if a geared rider looks at him they instanly become cooler by assosiation and sell all there mainstream geared tatt in the hope of being "a bit more like him"?

Yes and no. One does become cooler, but the hopeless emptiness I feel now I am no longer near him would never be filled with any reduction in gears / conversion to flat earth or renouncement of my colour television.
His manly stubble and down-filled gilet gave him a manly yet casual air that reminded me of a cross between Bear Grylls and Han Solo - but royal and noble.
I am more of a man yet less of a man for meeting him.

Did you get a picture of yourself stood next to him?

Was it the real KOS? There's one kicking about that is more fake than Sofakings bikes!

Too tall I love you but stay calm x

and he is very tall .................my neck hurts from looking up

So the real KOS went to Si's party tonight? I thought a fake may have been sent due to the dodgy area known to us Northerners as Brizzol

Sorry chaps, couldn't make it 🙁

I'm confused, went on a geared ride in the forest yesterday, 3 of us with either 18 or 27 of them. Didnt need to stop for any faffing or shifter issues. What are we doing wrong?

BTW - who marked the "orange" trail around the edge of the Pedalabikeaway area? Useful for following some of the singletrack in that part of the woods.

😉 pack them wheels up mate, no attention came my way!

Great day guys good to meet some of you and not so nice to see some others 😉 lol

Next time mixed! Gears and ss?

you expect me to believe that for one wild minute ?

Promise! KOS will varify!

Tollah??? Who's he?? Didn't meet anybody today by that name!!! Good to see you all and cheers for a great day, here's to the next one..

What apart from the spewing up at the side of the trail just so everyone would look at you. 😉

Cheers, for the guiding and the chat.
Twas a good ride out.

A pleasant ride today guy, good to meet you. Almost gave Tollah a man point for spewing on-the-move but he blew-it when he stopped! 😯

tollah wasn't spewing, stu had over filled him with man love and he was just leaking a bit. 😀

LOL 😆

But I injected it from the other end...

But I injected it from the other end...

ever since the "specialmanlovegame" with the sodastream went wrong the tollahs sphincters have all been a bit week, hence the upper seal breach!!

Nice brownies, shite company and trails 😉
Great to see the fat lad puke at every opportunity though.

Thanks for a great day. Journey home was slow...

are there any pictures of the attention whore not hamming up the "i feel a bit icky" routine just to prove that at no time was he the centre of attention so he can get his wheels.

Yawns and stretches, murmurs woteva.

Close Tazzy, but your missing the pavement pizza ending!!

Thought the guiding was ok until i got abandoned in the arse end of nowhere.
Thanks for that. 😯

Not impressed.

at least the locals didn't burn you in a wickerman!

Flatfish? Where were you? Really sorry.

Oops. I think rule 5 apllies here. 😆

Looking at the map when i got home, somewhere near coalway.

Where abouts? Must be getting a signal to post on here so that narrows it down a bit, possibly near the top of the last climb. Who wants to join the search party... 🙄

Don't know what to say other than sorry.

Ah, you're home! You escaped the locals alive. Phew 😆

Putting a more serious head on, when did we lose you? Before the pub or later in the day?

It was the section after we'd stopped above the quarry.

Really not sure why you got missed then as we still had 2 sweepers then!

flatfish were you on the Giant?

I thought Pete and Mandy were behind so when i couldn't see anybody ahead i waited for them to point the way but nobody arrived. I hung around for 10 minutes then started swearing a bit.
Vaguely knew which direction was pedalabike was so i headed down hill, fairly sure i'd hit the road and came out at the south end of cannop ponds.

yes postie, twas the Giant.

There's quite a few turnings through that bit. Mandi and me were bringing up the rear there but obviously missed you. I'm thinking that after the trail dropped down (fast) and up again there's a left turn that is easily missed; if missed you shortly come back up onto the fireroad. There were 3 guys stopped (not with us) just before the easily missed turn. Glad you found your way back OK though.

When you're done posting about sick and sodastreams, how about posting some pics!?

There'll be none of me, i was lost. 🙄

Mandi is confused to how things went so wrong, again sorry flatfish, I counted a few times and we had 20 everytime?

Buzz lightyear, mine should be up tomorrow night once I've converted them etc!

I counted a few times and we had 20 everytime?

You were counting your wok as the missing rider.
An easy mistake to make with something that big.

Sounds like flatfish took a wrong turning so the sweepers had no chance of finding him as he wasn't on the same trail.

How could you count Sheldon? You were still pissed. 😉

Stu, i took the right turning into a piece of singletrack, following somebody else, they were about 30/40 yards ahead, saw them ahead in the trees and when i came out on a fireroad nobody was there.
I've no idea where everybody went after that but i was defo following the "correct route".
Maybe you lost more and i'm the only one to get home and complain.

Taylor wondered where you had got to , you did not miss much weak beer and what seemed like a an old railway track back 😉

All my action pics are crap cannot not be arsed to upload.

saw them ahead in the trees and when i came out on a fireroad nobody was there.

So you took a wrong turn/missed a turn off in the trees then.

No, my singletrack came out onto a fireroad right where i saw my last attention whore. There were no other turns on this section of singletrack.

Well you went wrong somewhere didn't you. 😉

come out with you lot was my mistake.

That's easily solved then. 😆

If you want a guide to hold your hand try paying for one. 🙄

I would payed with a pint in the pub given the opertunity.

What quarry was that then ?
I don't remember a quarry but it reminds me of a quarry in krygystan
Thanks for a great day out tho till the next time

:-)))))

So....SS types can't count and if you're not from round here, we'll leave you for dead in the forest.

No wonder fishy wanted company yesterday! Poor beggar.

i wouldnt have (didnt) abandoned you flatfish, not all SS'ers are the same! 😉

To be fair, every time we stopped for Don to be spu, he asked if everyone was there and ready to roll. You obviously didn't make it known that you were missing and defiantly not ready for any rolling just yet.

Thanks to all for a smashing day out.

Loved the Followthrough at the end, the only time that I felt alive all week.

Where's the follow through then?

Any pics from the ride? Really peeved that I missed it. 😥

jimster +1

I really enjoyed the ride too Nice brownie too thanks Ted 😀

Just to point out the same group of us managed to guide nearly 300 people around the forest in April and as far as i am aware we didin't lose anyone that day !

I remember seeing flatfish everytime i saw him he was either crashing,dabbing or walking 😆

Sorry it didnt register when you wern't there i guess i just thought you were getting better maybe you can take us out sometime and lose us ?

Don't get me wrong, the april event was tops, as was yesterday until everybody vanished.
I'd be happy to lose you in the mendips sometime. 😉
