In. Anyone from Tod area going? Can I have a lift back as I'll be riding from work. Also if anyone fancies an early start and a blast round Phillips Park beforehand I'll be up for that.
I don't see why not... Might be able to squeeze you in too, Daz, depending on who we're taking there.
Great. Not a problem if you're full though, I'll just ride back if I have to.
In.
Rude not to really...
i reckon so.
Planning to go at the moment I can throw the towball rack in the back
In. 🙂
I'm in, Binners has convinced me unskilled and unfit is acceptable 😆 see you all there.
I just fancied a bit of company at the back 😀

In, as long as I can get new brake pads beforehand.
I'll almost certainly be driving there tomorrow via work now as I have a catalogue of aches and pains after Bristol bikefest yesterday so don't bother with the bike rack Kev. Looking forward to a nice and slow bimble round the woods.

I seem to remember last time we did Prestwich everyone had had a shit day at work and we set a MNPR record pace* and accidently dropped a load of people. I'm sure it'll be very relaxed this time though, especially if Binners is coming 🙂
*by that I mean we averaged more than 10kph.
I've got a dodgy knee too. It'll be walking pace 😀
How come doing your knee in has improved your performance? 🙂
Remember what happened last time you tried to get past me? 😉
Tried?
I can barely walk up the stairs this evening. Any plans I had of riding up there from work have evaporated.
More PMBA injuries?
I'm in, riding from town... How late are you lot out normally? Do I need to bring a light or will the sun suffice?
You'll need a light.
We'll be riding for about 2 hours.
Usually back at the pub around 10 so lights needed for the last slog back through the woods. And definitely required if you're riding home afterwards.
Righteo I'll stick one in my bag
We could have just about got away without lights last week but it would be worth having them. Sounds as if we could have a decent turn out which can only mean more mechanicals though!
No injuries, Daz. Just a long day out for those of us that aren't used to it!
Ps, flat pedals are awesone

Speak for yourself... No bloody way I was tackling San Marino in its present state without my lights.

Every few metres down the trail my light was shaken into a vertical position so i had pretty much no lights all the way down.
Well, that's my excuse...

Should be a fair few as I'm bringing at least 3 Prestwich newbies with me hopefully.
I'm in, keep me company at the back.
I'm now out. On Saturday I played rugby for the first time in 5 years. I can barely walk today.
Don't walk then 😀
You know that he needs the mobility for doing repairs etc whilst out riding!
I'm interested in tagging along*, how light do the lights need to be? I have a set of [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/lezyne-femto-drive-front-light-15l/rp-prod111699 ]these[/url] that I use for commuting, would they be alright? Will I die?
*Depending how sleepy I am after dinner...
You'll probably die.
Something like [url= http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Generation-Upgraded-Cree-XM-L2-SolarStorm-X2-Bike-Light-Bicycle-Lights-Set-/131041049161 ]This[/url] is more the order of things
Someone might have a spare light if you ask nicely.
Alternatively, if you don't want to burn your house down during the night with dodgy Chinese exploding batteries and chargers.....

Oh god! I'll have started something now.....
We'll discuss this at the top of the hill, binners 😀
Thought as much, looks like I'm out. Usually in bed by 10 anyway so would have been pushing it 😆
Looks like this may end up to late for me, just found out I have an early start tomorrow. Might have to wait until next week.
YAY!! More pies for us!!!! 😀
OK, who's riding from town and what time are you leaving?
The Mrs has just declared that she's got the car tonight so looking at options
I'm still pretty much of the opinion that we will pretty much get away without lights tonight...
OK, who's riding from town and what time are you leaving?
Not me. Got to go home then come all the way back to Manc. Bit stupid really.
EDIT: Hope we're ok without lights as mine aren't charged. Think it'll probably be ok as long as no one breaks their bike.
