Hello I am Vic (Victoria), I have been looking at all the interesting goings on for a while so I plucked up the courage and joined, I have just started riding again after a few years off the bike, I have a mtb but im not very good 😳 the bike has 2 wheels firmly on the ground 😕 so I may ask a few technical questions every now and again x
Howdy.
Where's abouts is ya?
Welcome Vic. Ignore the arguing, there really are some nice people on here who are always willing to help.
Have fun.

Have you seen the Ben Nevis thread? Are you sure you want to be a part of that?
Derbyshire, and yes I have seen some of the arguing, Im banking on nice helpfull people 😀
Do you have a view on [s]pikeys[/s]? charming Romany, happy-go-lucky salt-of-the-earth types?
Get out while you still can......
Binners yes I have had a little look at that one 👿 Im still waiting for my car seat covers back after parking near to a site !!
Or Martin McGuiness, Lords reform or wood-burners?
Have you met Hora?
Hi Victoria and welcome to the mad house 😆
welcome! Ignore the miserablists on here. 🙂

Do you think you could just use the one "l" in helpful?
How's that for a start on the helpful bit? 😉
and you missed the apostrophe out of [i]I'm[/i]
Tsk. They'll let anyone in these days.
No I have not met Hora, I am going to go away now and go for a ride 😛
Welcome. Quick tip. If you post a picture of your bike up here, make sure you paint your fence first.

Don't forget to have the weeds removed too...
Hi, by the way.
welcome along..
if you're in Derbyshire there is a peaks pootle towards the end of the month.. keep a lookout on here for details, I think we've a few new starters coming along. Its all very relaxed and hopefully we won't get rain!

You should immediately note a couple of things about the above statement:
Firstly it's not a euphemism for anything...they really do comment on your fences and your paving and your weed situation etc etc etc.
Secondly, note the immediate assumption that any bike photos will take place in your garden as opposed to out on the trails. The implications of this are obvious.
Oh...and welcome to STW! You'll love it here!
vic, come along to the peaks pootle on the 14th, lovely way to meet people
Roadie in Denial, I salute you! A superb post!
Victoria, welcome. You'll like it here, I hope! There's a large amount of waffle, large amounts of it from me, I admit, but on the whole there's virtually nothing the STWHiveMind can't help you with......!
Oh, apart from letting us know your favourite cephalopod, that is. We don't know that yet....
Cheers Cap'n. You've made me smile on what has been a difficult day (snapped stuck seatpost...tool kit 400 miles away...you get the idea).
You've made me smile
Victoria, if there's one thing to take from all this silliness, it's this.
Sometimes, when things are bad, and the world conspires against you, some random STWer will make you smile. And for that, I am grateful for this little den of insanity!
🙂
Roadie, glad I raised a smile!
Hi ya Vic!
I'm new too! Have to say what a giggle you'll have on this site (as long as you can laugh at yourself of course...!) Pooks pootles on the 14th july????? will we see you there? Have a spare rm if you need accommodation nearby (i'm in manchester) 🙂
The peeps i've met so far have been ab fab, loveleeeeees!!!!!
Hope you had a good ride?! 😀
Surprised no one has asked for pics yet.
jimmy, have you got any pics?
re: the pootle, I still haven't picked a route.....
So the peaks pootle how far do you pootle and where do you pootle 🙂
Yes I have noticed fence comments and wheels not lined up,
CaptainFlashheart Im not very good with 'cephalopods' have caught a cuttlefish is this close enough,
solarpowered I did enjoy my little ride.
Thanks for all the nice comments
What tyres you running?
I mean hello, nice to meet you.
hello welcome.
Bell or hooter?
hello 😀
pootle-wise we normally pootle around castleton / edale / Ladybower way and generally do no more than 15 miles.
The pace is social - speed demons must be prepared to hold gates for people - and we normally have a pint and a bite afterwards.
I started them to provide a group ride where everyone felt welcome and nobody was left at the back feeling slow - I've been that person and hated it! Our little group at the back happily call themselves the peaks pushers.....
Have a look at the Peaks Pootle thread for more of an idea and more details of the 14th soon- or just come along, you're more than welcome!
Morning. 😀
and you missed the apostrophe out of I'm

If you want help choosing a fridge or a tent, this is the place.

I believe STW has PLENTY of people willing to laugh at you if you're not too. Don't take it personally though. Unless you're prepared to do a champion flounce.
If you want help choosing a fridge or a tent, this is the place.
I'm sure somebody will help if you need a fridgetent or a tentfridge too, either the location or construction of.
