[Closed] Monday Night Pub Ride – 19th October

i'm in, i would think!

Dust? I'll believe that when I see it.

It was dusty in Littleborough last week!

I'm in.

Going to make an effort to be there.

Mmm... pie. I'll have finished writing about stupid bikes then, so I'd hope that I could be in for that one!

I'll be there. I need to start riding bikes again anyway.

Hopefully there!

Every intention of being there!

...it should be fast(ish) and dusty

*sigh*

slight shower in the city centre this afternoon, and that's all. it'll be fine! we've got 4 days of blue skies between now and then...

Note the numberplate dude! I'm in the wrong country 😉

Most definitely in

oh shit yeah, i forgot you'd ran away from us...

Hmm. Hmmmmmm.

Oh go on then. 🙂

I think i'll be there.

Blimey! Could be the mother of all turnouts!

Largest number of riders so far in 2015 was also at Prestwich and was 21. It was a cold winters night on 5th January.

In my mind I sound like the bloke announcing the lotto balls.

In my mind you sound like a bloke talking balls.

I'm hoping to drag along some of the Stockport crowd, so it looks like you'll be up very late filling in your spreadsheet 🙂

i think a friend of mine is coming along too, her first MNPR. so yes, lots of folk.

Looks like it could be a big one. I’m willing to place a bet on [s]Daz’s[/s] somebody’s bike falling apart and us having at least one light failure by the time we get to big gates at the bottom of Hurst Woods.

I need to employ a mechanic I think. Of the 7 bikes in my garage, Only one is currently in a state where I could take it out and ride it without doing anything to it. And that's a road bike. Guess I know what I'm going to be doing over the weekend 🙁

Buying a new bike? There's a deal on Cannondales apparently.

@nach

[real answer is: not too long I hope]

I should have been out untill the wife said she is now working Monday night. I did complain that this working on Monday evenings is effecting my social life. With which she replied ok I will pack in work. So it's a no show from me for another couple of weeks

Last Sunday I said I was going to try harder to get out on MNPR but the MTB is in bits and I've got a business meeting at 6 pm in Derbyshire so will have to try for next week.

I'm in anyone want a lift?

Biggest Prestwich ride we had was about 35.

Yeah, but we managed to thin it out a bit at the first set of traffic lights. 😳

I'm in (one of the previously mentioned Stockport crowd)

Can I just raise a pertinent point at this juncture:

Due to the increased numbers, is this going to create pie issues?

If they're running short, especially of the pork and black pudding ones, we might have to settle the issue with gladiatorial combat in the beer garden. Or jousting.

I'm assuming a no unless home situation changes, don't wait if you don't see me there 🙂

You can have my pie Binners. Looking likely my van will be having a piggy back home later today, in which case no riding for me tonight. [-ve] 😀 [/-ve]

Pie based disputes will be settled as they would be on Krypton.

yeah. probably.

I might have to stop occasionally to eject snotballs into the bushes, but as long as I have a lift, I'm in.

*cough*

Nach if you need a lift let me know.

Ta. I think Chipps and Clover were planning on riding too, but I'll let you know.

Are there veggie pies?

Gah, work rules me out unfortunately. Might ease the potential pie conundrum though..

Are there veggie pies?

In Prestwich? I think that sort of thing is against the law round there, it is the rough north side of Manc after all. I have to make do with crisps 🙁

Are there veggie pies?

There is a cheese one.
