I'm in!

I'm working. 🙁

Will see if I can make it back in time but it's not looking good. May come and join you for the pub bit anyway. 🙂

I might try and make this 🙂 Although riding there Sunday (and walking there Saturday).

There'll be a couple of ups, a couple of downs, no death-gnar and a decent pint at the end of it...

Is it recumbenttricycleable?

For you, terrahawk, it'll be recumbenttandemtricycleable.

no death-gnar

Been out today - trails are starting to get in really good condition. Enjoy your visit to Gnarnia. 😉

Wrong pub

Ah, but it has ample parking apparently. Are you out?

I have a cold. Will try to see you for a pint

Jolly Good.

A cold?

Looks like the pubs going to be busy afterwards anyway. Is there now a social membership for the Monday Night Club, like at a golf club? 😀

Social members are not allowed to wear the ceremonial flip flops and silly hats.

Bumpety flippety floppety bump

Trying to renege on my commitments - will have to see what happens tomorrow.

Russ, if you want to lift share I'll drive. 7:30 @ mine.

Sounds good. See you there.

Can't make it tonight.
see you next time.

Not charged my lights so no can do 🙁 Got to clean the house too before the cleaners come tomorrow (no, I can't see the logic in that either).

But, rode Hebden yesterday - nice and dry, loamy etc. Enjoy!

See you all later. Might only turn up for the social now that I'm all dark side n' that.

Splitter.

So, who else is having it then?

I'm still in. Though it looks like I'll be the sole representative of the Rammy contingent. If it's owt like Rammy then the trails have dried out nicely. See you later!

Trails are awesome at the moment - enjoy!

I've failed to weasel out of my work commitments so it's a no can do for me. What time do you think you'll be in the pub from/until - 8.45 - 9pm? 🙂

Dunno. Chipps is our leader, he'll have an idea.

Arse! Typical! I've cursed myself by confirming I'll be there. Afraid I'm going to have to drop out due to car issues. Going for a local jaunt instead. Have a good's you lot

I know. Can't be helped I'm afraid

Seeing as the trails are drying out, could I be so bold as to suggest a Cragg Quarry jaunt next week, starting from Edenfield? Its a belter. In fact, it looks like thats tonights destination.

Don't see why not. Are you sure that you will be able to make it 😉 ?

Meet at 8-8.15 and we'll ride for a couple of hours. Back at the (wrong pub I know, Brant, but we love a bit of ample parking) for 10pm or so.

Good stuff. Me and Russ will be arriving at 8:15ish. Don't set off without us!

Is that it then? Just the three of us?

wittonweavers has texted me from his death bed this afternoon (hope the fingernail heals quickly Craig)

As for the rest of the usual suspects. You need to take a good look out of the window at the lovely weather.

And have a bloody good word with yourselves!!!!

Can you still bring the stem - mebbe email me your phone number? Going to get back as soon as I can. 🙁

Stem is in the car mate.

Im in for a future Hebbers one. Will source lights asap

but.... but... you said.....

No buts, I'm in 😀

Cheers Chipps. Cracking ride.

What an absolute belter.

Cheers all!

Rivi next week then? 😉

A 99% legal Hebden ride. Wrong wrong wrong 😉

Rivington next week it is then. As no members of Ramsbottom Shithouse Velo CC turned up we have decided that they can stick Cragg Quarry up their lazy Splitter backsides 😉

Details to follow in Thursday.

If we were playing Night Ride Bingo last night I would have got points for.

1. Car full of dope smokers

2. Bleeding shin

3. Getting my helmet stuck in branches leaving me dangling by my chin strap, hands off the bars but feet still clipped in.

Star of the night has to be the big fella (sorry, I still don’t know your name despite seeing you every week!) for the heroic overtake on The Blue Pig and the kamikaze attempt at Bolty (?) Steps.

To quote Douglas Adams: Ten out of ten for style, minus several million for good thinking.

Bregante’s karma induced piano-down-a-lift-shaft approach to the steps at the bottom of Peckett Well deserves a mention in despatches also.

A 99% legal Hebden ride. Wrong wrong wrong

Yes, the cheek was notable by its absence 😥

It was great to get out and meet a few new folk on the trails though, and it's a real bonus when you can put the bike back in the car CLEAN! (almost unheard-of)

Its a good job we didn't join you. One of The Peoples Popular Front Splitters (who shall remain nameless - Lee) hadn't grasped that when your brake pads are constantly squealing, it might be worth checking if they are actually brake pads any more. Or just two metal plates being forced ineffectively onto a metal disc. Made for an entertaining descent down to Owd Betts

We'll be at Rivi next week though. I want to see Hora the reverse vampire eat his words (or eat a big rock on one of the descents)
