a lady should or shouldn't be impaled there? 😯
i'm starting to like hills myself so yeah why not!
Just saw my typo's lol.... 'i lady should be impaled...'
ummmmmmmmmm 😉
Mmmm. Just finished eating some FoD venison coincidentally (thanks to all those that responded to my 'venison recipes' thread).
Have had groups of up to 28 out in FoD 'back-in-the-day' without losing anyone but the front riders have to be patient else they'll be out in the woods alone 😯
Having a fast and slow group is nice but at the same time riding together as a collective is much better imo

I would love to but I am busy that weekend
up for a wiltshire / somerset ride. wanted to do the quantox and purbeck rides - but couldn't get a childminder
also up for mid-week, post work Mendips or Westbury / Salisbury Plain rides if anyone's interested?
Miss Banana think i scared you again!Hope my reply didn't sound pervy , not intentional honest!
but at the same time riding together as a collective is much better imo
coz then you can eye up all the fit totty instead of being stuck with the Mr. Blobbys :o)
Mr OldFart I took your reply in the spirit it was intended, and was thoroughly complemented. Thank you.
Mr simonfbarnes, I'd be much happier if you stopped making comments like that.
Many thanks.
[i]coz then you can eye up all the fit totty instead of being stuck with the Mr. Blobbys :o) [/i]
that's not true!
[i]Mr K the FOD is superb I did a ride there with a guy off this forum called Pete (who rides a s/s Moots Ti) it was briliant Rocketdog did a superb job of riding at the rear
[/i]
that was a while (and many bikes) ago, Psling (i think you'll find his SS was a Dean) is a great leader, both were winter rides though, it would be nice to do the ride without ice! and at the back is my usual position 🙂
P.S. i didn't get any shortbread/cake 😥
i'd be happy to lead around my neck of the woods but...
A) no one rides a slow as me
B) even at my speed we'd struggle to do 2 hours without covering the same trails over and over
🙁
"Having a fast and slow group is nice but at the same time riding together as a collective is much better imo"
here here , I go in the knitting group cos I like the steady pace and photo stops, oh and walking up hills with Aleigh. I could ride much faster and ride up hills but im happy at the back chatting away. So any dates, venues thats suit everyone ?
TBC.
And knottie, might have a new frame soon 😉
So any opinions on my route/venue ?
I'm up for anything! Just a question of timing.
What's Sunday like for other folk ?
Anywhere within a couple of hours of Poole, i could probably make. Not this week though, little'uns got chicken pox.
Sunday for me is just like a monday, tuesday, weds, thurs , fri or sat..it's just spelt differently.
Doh ! Sorry didn't mean this Sunday just Sunday in general.I'm going to hit the hay been a long day .Check back tomorrow leave it to all you night owls for now .
I can do Sunday 17th May if that's any good?
probably OK with me oops sorry 'night all .
lol - night Mr Fart
Blimey, I think a group hug is needed 🙂
So ... what's going down? My diary is at the ready ...
someone needs to push the boat out CG
Well, rOcKeTdOg, I did notice that on the return transatlantic crossing everyone bu**ered off to the upper deck. Who mentioned that it was going to be a rough crossing?
I wasn't sick over anyone, I behaved impeccably as usual 8) ... until later in the day 😉
it was choppier the next day [img]

LOL at RocKEtDoG's puking face.
Mr OF, Sundays are not so convenient for me, but having said that, I may still be able to come along. I can't do that 16/17 May w/e, but finding a date for everyone is impossible anyway.
Oldfart's suggested route round Exmoor sounds a winner!
how about bank holiday Monday? My 8 year old daughter has taken pity on me and organised a day with her Gran!
i'm in Frome - somewhere within an hour / hour and a half would be good. So Quantox (have never managed to get there!) - Mendips - Salisbury Plain - Bristle - Exmoor - Purbeck
anyone?
I'll happily lead a ride around the New Forest/Lordswood but WCA has done it and moved on to [url= http://www.bigbikebash.co.uk/ ]Bigger Things[/url].
Anna if you just brought digestives on a ride I am sure they would be the best digestives; possibly even from Waitrose!
Monday is good for me I think. Oldfart, could you do that route on monday? sounds really good........
oooh, things are hotting up!
my diary is full on monday though... 🙁
...with the words bike ride! 🙂 NF and oldfarts route all sound good.
Mmmmm Horner tea gardens , yum .
'stids
hows the bone , Sharki ?
bumpy and boingy to touch..... 🙁
How's the Butt?
This is open for all!
not the butt the question.. 😆
has it stuck together then ?
Evening all. Where am I going, what time and who with?
dunno.
A bit is my guess
Knottie, you request a group ride and look, it all unfolds before your very eyes! How do you do that?
If it helps, I'm particularly interested in Westbury White Horse and also Exmoor. Ideally not the BH weekend for Exmoor though as would like to make a weekend of it.
So ... over to you guys ...
*wakes up*
Did someone mention mountain biking...this weekend.....is that an excuse to leave my familly commitment early? 😆
