The Bogtrotters Saturday rides are very very accomodating and it is quite a social thing. Everyone was new once!
The website and FB page provide plenty of info.
IIRC, the original idea of GoFar was for folk to organise rides. Nice to see it used for its proper purpose.
Salford is hora territory. Careful now.
Tonight isn't possible - but is it every Mon?
more or less, yeah.
Harry the Spider usually posts up the "invite" on here. or whoever is organising/leading the away days (the base rides are the prestwich ones, but others have been known to take place in ramsbottom, rivington, todmorden...)
it's a really relaxed, friendly, non-intimidating bunch. except for binners. he's a gregg's pasty fuelled demon...
hmmm, anyone else bra-dar blinking?I don't...I just know I ain't him!
I want sausage
Marple is alright for me - I have a brother who lives out there...two birds one stone and all that! How would I go about organising that then? Also maybe solarpowered could be up or a ride?
Emily, I like the picture of you with a bid of prey on your arm. Don't look dressed for falconry, but the smile shows you were clearly enjoying it!
Salford is a very rough area Pook.
3 bikes in a year nicked means it is pretty rough...hence the need to get out riding before my bike waltzes off again!
Don't get me wrong Saint Retford and Trafford aren't village greens- I'd happily walk around them at night though. Salford I'd erm want the car doors locked at night!! 😀
Just swap your bike/s for a canoe, more use to anyone who lives in Manchester

drop me a mail - address in profile. Likewise for solarpowered
+1 for manchester mountain bikes. Very friendly bunch
If you're up in Ramsbottom riding you can message me as I'm newish to the area and am looking for peeps to ride with! You might have to wait on the uphills for me though!

So, finally, the truth comes out...
No wonder you're having no luck with the ladies.. 😳
Why do you think I'm trying to get you away for a romantic weekend in Scotland thinly veiled as a mleh meat?
Another one for Manchester Mountain Bikers here- it's all organised through a meet-up website so if you're nervous about meeting new people (and let's face it, who isn't?) you can peruse the website, check out forthcoming rides and current members etc from the comfort of your lounge first.
There seems to be plenty of female-orientated stuff organised as well.
Everything that everyone has mentioned above looks like top fun though so I'm sure you can just take your pick really
You know sometimes Jamie, you and JCL actually make me laugh.
OP try and hook up with a girls ride- Boggies do these(?) or at least have girls content. nbt's a good bloke. You wont see his lovely wife for a while yet though? 🙁
It can be a sausage-fest. I wont name names but I once went out with a group of blokes/one female. The female nipped away to the outdoor bathroom and I watched 4/5 blokes stood staring across to where she was crouched. I never went on that ride again.
konaboy the same applies, we're local and get out on a regular basis so let me know if you fancy
Why? Has he put me under the patio 😉nbt's a good bloke. You wont see his lovely wife for a while yet though?
I'll be riding again soon hora. Emily you are very welcome to join us. There is usually at least one female riding along with the chaps.
It's usually me
there are several big girls blouses among our group 😉It's usually me
The female nipped away to the outdoor bathroom and I watched 4/5 blokes stood staring across to where she was crouched. I never went on that ride again.
Did you just leave the gopro on the handlebars facing her whilst you looked the other way then?
YOU SICK PERVERT
(Sorry still in tabloid mode from my RD thread, joking aside I can't believe they did that and I would have certainly said something to them at the time, morons)

Hope this helps.
konaboy2275 - sounds good to me if you are new to the area too - always good not to be the only newbie! Let me know if you want to arrange anything
Hey Emily!! Welcome!! You have to get along to at least one Marple riders ride.......they are all as mad as a box of frogs and us girls have a right old giggle!! It would be fantastic to meet you.
If the meets aren't suitable then just drop me a mail... I'm often (relatively) around Clifton/Phillips park & would thoroughly enjoy some female company- I'm definitely no where near the expertise of a 'Black run' however, so do be warned! You're Sunday ride is probably going to be more like my mammoth, monthly outing!!! 😉
Have fun and good luck! I do hope to meet you some time x
there are several big girls blouses among our group
Guilty as charged 😳
My emails in my profile if you want to contact me, need a motivation to get out in the endless rain we're having - My dog didn't even want to go out last night!
I really could do with some more male friends to go cycling with. Sometimes I meet local cyclists out in the area and we chat or spin up a hill together. When we come to split it sounds a bit gay to ask for their number to possibly meet up again so I don't but I should.
Where are ya Jekkyl?
Where are ya Jekkyl?
Sounds like IHN is in a tunnel?
Sounds good to me Solarpowered - will drop you an e-mail and we can arrange a meet up maybe?
Konaboy2275 - not sure why but can't see your profile to get e-mail address?
Jekkyl sounds like me too. Great to meet other transient souls too though. I've bumped into a few people off here and some cast iron/bullet-proof walkers of advanced age.
It's dclamb2275 at hotmail dot com 🙂
Not to sound too needy but is there a possibility of me getting in on this marple group riding? 🙂
all comers welcome. see my profile for details of the mailing list. DOn't think I'll be out this week but it's not definite yet.
Oh, and the Monday night club share the same roots as the marple riders, the very hazy days of the southmanchestermassive, so similar rules apply. See if you can guess which...
