[Closed] Monday Night Pub Ride – March 2nd – Hebden Bridge

Unfortunately, it's just too far for me on a school night. I'm up at half 5.

hmm. i'm off work on monday cos i get the keys to my hoose, so may be able to make it up there for this ride...

I have a meeting in Cirencester at 10am on the Tuesday :-/

Even I might try and make this one since its (very) local.

oh, i do need to get a bar end plug or two still, after losing one of mine on the fence by the river heading back to phillips park last monday night... anyone got any ODI lock-jaw snap caps spare, by any chance?

Should be ok for Monday but may have to give the pint a miss to get back at a semi sensible time!

I'll be there as long as my dodgy back is ok by then. I bloody hate being old. Puts me in a dilemma though. Can I be arsed riding there and back from Tod?

I keep claiming I might come but it never happens. We'll see. 🙂

This is local to me so I might break my MNPR duck.
Are green stoker helmets compulsory though?
I'll also declare it now, I have a lefty fork and ive heard all the jokes before.

Work says no

Which is bloody annoying 😐

how long do you tend to be out riding for? are MNPR virgins welcome?

They were very good with me on my first ride along with them, always had someone keeping me company at the back.

too far for me on a skool nite.....

I too am up at half 5 quarter to 6.

I'm out

I'll be there.

I should be out if I can get my new "Gnar Missile" built up.

If I scratch it I will cry.

Max 2 hours. We need to leave time for the pub.
No one gets left to the wolves.

Living less than 30s roll away I will be there.

I might just go the pub here.

the bolton massive if you want to I'll be out round rivvy

How far away do you think Hebden is?

Managed to rearrange my trip to brum so rear gunner reporting for duty sah!!!!. I shall sort suitable artwork out in the morning to commemorate the occasion. Might have a couple of new recruits too

bout an hour away fornwhich means after pub drive home shower its well past midnight. Im a girl and normally in bed by 10.

If I negate the pub I reckon Id be back for half 11ish.

Need a 9-5 job

Hmm food for thought.

This is a good incentive to do that brake bleed I've been putting off.

Yeah, I felt kinda silly winging about my brakes when yours were much closer to the bars 🙂

I'd love to come out, it's been too long.

Bonnets, can I borrow that book? (Shock doctrine), ta!

Would their be room for a MNPR b team? I've joined a couple of rides at Prestwich but the big hill stuff is out of my comfort zone. But a regular Monday night at Prestwich I would more likely attend. Don't know it well enough to lead it but would be interested. Quite happy to join up and have a chat.

May I join in with all the other newbies?

I will be out as i can only come out every other week now due to the wife working. Will Be coming straight home afterwards it,s an hours drive from mine.

1 Shed, do what you want. It's a free World!

If we do Littleborough in a couple of weeks you should come and have a go. It is sort of half way on the "big hill stuff" scale.

Being so far from home I'm tempted to go straight from work and get some grub at the pub. I think a pint will also help with the ride. Probably go straight home afterwards. Does anyone know if the pub does food?

The Oldgate? Its for rich southern types who moved back up and buy-to-let Landlords?

Chippy is around the corner 😀

Yes it does. Quite good food too.

Can't get a pint at the chippy though.

BTW. Who are you calling Southern? 😡

Quite a lot of snow falling this morning, and yesterday, and now.... bring warm things

From my perch half way down Blue Pig I can see....nothing at all 😆

Some pretty good beers on in OldGate right now.
Ryperbole from Magic Rock on keg at £4.60 a pint.
There's a Thornbridge Russian Imperial Stout.
The Chopper Stout from 6 Deg North is incredible, but more like a dark saison than a stout really.

Non of those are what I'd call "driving" beers though.

Once I can walk up the hill I'm fine 🙂

for various reasons, i think i'll be giving tonight a miss.

I've just checked the weather forecast and a 30 mile drive "up t' valley" in heavy snow is a little daft.

I'm oot.

Guys, the roads aren't looking great round here, it's taken me 45 mins to get from Heptonstall to Hebden Bridge (very gingerly down the hill) and there were at least 2 collisions that I saw, turned promptly around, and came straight back home (very gingerly).

Still snowing

All else fails, we can still just go to the pub.

It's not snowing in Hebden Bridge.

It's snowing in Heptonstall, Brant.

Shall we just go for a pint? 😆
