Top night gents. Thanks for waiting up for me. I only fell off to impress you all.
Def not put off.
Mr MNPR Newbie (Gavin)
More importantly (sorry Gavin)
Did hora enjoy himself?

Dunno, no doubt he'll be along to tell us shortly.
However, it is worth mentioning that the combination of short seat post and long forks gave his Dandyhorse an appearance not dissimilar to this...

A good ride last night glad I made the effort even met Hora even though he pretended to be someone else in the car park. Hope the casualties are feeling better this morning. Nightmares last night I seem to have distant recall of stupidly offering to do a 24hr event with team Binners.
I do think it was quite considerate of everyone to make Gavin feel more relaxed about falling off in front of everyone by then taking it in turns to hurl themselves at the floor.
It was like we were all channelling the spirit of Hora

i wouldnt have had time to get over to rammy so just went for a quick blast around rivi instead.
i'm definitely in for team MNPR at MM next year though! we have to make it happen.
Scaled... how did you get on? Was it a more extreme version of [url= http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Monkey+Bath ]this?[/url] 😆

There might be enough for two teams at this rate. Maybe we should lobby for the creation of a couple of new sub-categories of most broken bikes and trivial injuries?
Chin is still bleeding 12 hours later, considering the possibility that I should have bobbed in to to A&E on the way home for a stitch and a scan.
Right wrist is proper ****ed, couldn't get my glove on this morning!
I'll let you go first next time Kai. It'll give you more chance to see your line and me more chance to watch the action. 😕
Put me down for MM next year.
Haha cheers Steve, I've been telling myself that I wouldn't have crashed on the Capra 😉
Nice stunt-fall from the banking sideways to be saved by Harry's saddle. I was impressive 😀
Great ride- the second to end descent, where we waited after the chain break, whats it called? That is nice- I need another go with proper wheels on again 8)

A&E in Manchester with a just a flesh wound? No chance! You'd still be waiting in a triage queue now. Hope it's better soon. Maybe we need one of these on future rides, wrong size wheels though...

A funny night! Thanks Binners!
I really do need to make the effort to get out next Monday, sounds like you all had a good laugh!

If we're sticking to the plan then we're doing a road ride next week. There should be much opportunity for mockery seeing everyone in their best lycra...

Anyone else itching after last night?
I picked up a few dozen midge bites, and whilst the red spots have gone the itching is driving me bananas. I was wondering if it was the midges or whether the kids had brought home “monsters” again and I’d have to take drastic action.

On come on! You're telling me that you'd admit to being hora if you didn't have to?

Well I didn't want you to think I was the online **** 😛

Dunno. There was a general air of "pfff" and "meh" about road bikes last night.

I thought that would be the case 🙂 Us roadies can sort out something else at a more amenable time.
What's plan B then?

One of those helmets is disarranged.

Well I’ll be dressed in my best Spiderman™ outfit and on the road bike at 5:45am on Saturday morning if you want to join me for a pre breakfast 40k.

Sadly I have a wedding to go to on Saturday. Nice idea though, I've always quite liked the idea of dawn(ish) rides. Never quite managed to motivate myself to do them though.
I'll tell you what, I might be up for that if I'm not repaired well enough to ride a MTB this weekend.
I'm supposedly in work for 7 on Saturday but if I can wangle a slightly later start.....
To paraphrase the well known football chant....
[b]YOU CAN STICK YOUR *ING ROAD BIKES UP YOUR *!!!![/b]
And in further injury news, the piece of unidentified trail furniture that managed to find the gap in my pads, and take the skin off the back of my knee, has now resulted in an absolutely mahoosive bruise. I'm still now quite sure how I managed it, to be honest! Unidentified Riding Injuries Eh?

Reet. I'll sort something or maybe even start one of those thread things on here.

URI Update - the back of my knee has now swollen right up, has gone an interesting array of colours and really bloody hurts when I walk on it.
Poor me! 😥
Weird. Its not a bite or a infected graze?
Upset any umbrella owning Bulgarian secret agents?
If I had to bet on anyone suffering from bad knees it would be you Hora after that heroic effort on your clown bike.
Might be infected actually, seeing as its not got much skin left on it. Didn't feel like I'd done much at the time. It bloody does now!
I'll bet hora's got some Bulgarian in him...

There will have been some pole in there too.
Undoubtedly
...which could explain why his bike wasn't configured to be sat on.
Its the wheels. That or the hacksaw.
Seatpost 'adjustment' Hora style.....
