[Closed] Monday Night Pub Ride – May 18th – Todmorden

Do Air Ambulance carry a camera person all the time then? presumably just in case BBC/Ch5/Pick want to do a series on them?

In (work commitments dependant)

Going to try and make this if my cold clears up.

Venue update from our Man in Tod.

Golden Lion. There's plenty of free parking up Longfield Road right behind the pub too.

Golden Lion address: Fielden Square, Todmorden, Lancashire OL14 6LZ

Longfield road is the junction right next to the pub which goes up the hill.

It is exciting, I agree.

´sup Brant?

Are you coming? I want to ask you a question about frame materials 🙂

It is exciting, I agree.

We camped there in Aug of that year. The fork-lightning was very interested and the rain..very [i]wet[/i] 😯

In!

I thought I only had beautiful landscape shots of Tod, but [url= ]here's something creepy[/url] from the toy and model museum a few doors down from the Golden Lion.

totally mexico.

I'll be along.

Yay! Should be out for this, assuming I can figure out some way to fit my bike in or on the impossibly teeny-tiny new car I seem to have ended up with.

What have you got? I once got a cross bike in the back of a Citroen C1, but I did have to reduce it to its component atoms.

I wonder if Susan “The Olympic Flame*” Binnersworth will be joining us?

*Never goes out.

Yaris. It's a bit like a go-kart with fancy electronics in it. Still, I've managed to fit two bikes in the back of both a Mini Metro and a Ford Ka before now so I reckon I'll be ok.

I am hoping to get out on Monday. I actually got out last night for the first time in weeks. Very nice it was too

Of course I'll probably sabotaged by a 4pm phone call Monday saying someone needs website visuals/a 16 page brochure doing for Tuesday morning.

Will I get a ride in a helicopter?

Mintimperial - You'll have to go a long way to beat Hora, who actually has a Smart Car and turned up with his Heckler in the passenger seat

Oh.... and I've discovered I have 2 MNPR T shirts left if anyone wants them. In large (fatty) and extra large (hey fatty bum bum) sizes

Theres also one of these

Which is a rather lovely thing in A1 in the frame shown. You know you want it really? Much cheapness to any discerning Monday Night punter 😀

and the bike on the passenger seat of a MX5/wheels in boot 8)

I'm out this week. Something about the wife's birthday on Monday apparently.....

I might be. I've got a meeting on-site in Chester on Monday at 4. Depending on what time that finishes I'll either head up to Tod or might get a sneaky couple of laps in at Llandegla...

I will be out on Monday night first time for a while looking forward to it.

Baza

I'm looking forward too it

How big is the large binners

I got my wheels back from mavic in Thursday, so I was in.

Then rode and broke them again today, so I'm out. And annoyed...

Dunc - it's 594 x 841mm. Want me to bring it along tomorrow 🙂

Scaled - were you destructive as a child?

Can do I'll see how it fits. Cheers

DId a half marathon in the Lakes today, and then rode for 2 hours...erm, will see how I am.

I'm in. It's Tod, from the Golden Lion. Back to the Golden Lion. What can possibly go wrong?

Oh yes, it's 'staff day' at work on Tuesday. When we all get together and plan the future. Glad to hear that Greg you did want a PINT of Leffe didn't you?" May is at least doubtful...

Leffe only comes in pints...right?

Anyone else outside those who have already declared. The trails will be bone dry still, sort of. If anyone is leaving their bike outside the pub bring a decent lock with you.

And scled what's wrong with the on one?

no for me. i'm on call tonight, and suffering massive sleep deficit from working saturday night too.

If the day is fair, I do indeed plan to be there, not square [or bare]

I'm not that worried about the rain, as I'm using the train. Also I heard it falls mainly on the plane, ignoring the train.

IGMC

[should I change my tyres? 😉 ]

Having issues walking today. So I am out.

I'm thinking of trotting out excuses 6b and 17g. If I'm not there by 8:15 don't wait.

6b. Knackered
17g. Pissing it down

Rain? What rain? It never rains in Tod. We have our own micro-climate.

Still ill, so I'm out.

It will have all run off the rock hard surface and drained away by tonight. Any remaining surface puddles will have dried up in the two hours of sunshine forecast for this afternoon.

Well I'll be there anyway. I've got 4 weeks to get fit for mayhem and I've run out of crap excuses for not riding my bike. I've even been out and bought two new rain jackets today 🙂

....has just actually looked at the forecast.

It's forecast light(ish) showers. So you have a 50-50 chance of getting slightly rained on. MTFU the lot of you! 🙂

I'll let you off. the suns out now! 😀

Hi. I might be there. If I'm not there at 8, I'll not be coming. Blue BMW estate, yellow Nukeproof.

Harrumph.

I should make the effort it's a massive 1/2 mile so I have no excuse to make my first ride, ( although I'm sure 17g could come into effect )

What's up?

Birthdays.

I'm sure Chipps would let you borrow the tandem*, Bregante 😀
