Hopefully it'll be a bit too early for the midges. They're not out round our way yet.
It was like Scotland up there last time out!
Still... be rude not too...

I might drag the fatty out.
I'll send him a text now. I'm sure he'll be up for it as he only lives down the road...

Hopefully I will be out this week

I might make this as its local ish.
Dunno yet. I'm away for 3 days from Tuesday so depends if the Mrs kicks up a fuss. She never has in the past though so I'll probably be there. What route is it? Anything technical? None of my bikes currently have 2 working brakes, so as long as I don't need them it'll be ok.
Your bike is broken? Really?
Not broken per se, just slightly malfunctioning. As long as I don't have to use my back brake, all will be fine.
Being able to stop is overrated.
No back brake, then the Fairy Battery descent is a must.
I seem to have come down with a case of "comedy guts". If I'm not there by 8:15 don't wait.
Who's playing out then?
Have your guts stopped laughing at you then?
I'm not playing out now 🙁 Just had an illustration job land that needs sorting ASAP, and I've just realised I've still not replaced the chain I snapped, and bodged back together last week
Are you out Craig?
If not is anybody out who knows where we are going?
Has the weather forecast changed or something? I'm still 50-50*. I haven't got a clue about the route anyway so I won't be much use. I'm sure one of the Bolton lot will know where to go.
*If I'm not there don't wait as it will mean I've been moaned at.
I'm out, don't know the route though.
If Mrs B gets home before 7.30, I'll be there.
Do you know the route?
Sounds like this could be interesting.
Do you know the route?
I do.
Twice round the car park n then to the bar?

Do you know the route?
This is me we're talking about. Of course I don't know the bloody route. It's a genuine surprise to me that I make my way into work most days..
Just pretend I'm there, and leading. Everyone just ignores me anyway and heads off wherever they fancy, with me occasionally shouting things from half a mile behind. It works on most Rammy rides.
Do you know the route?

A re-run of this....

Seriously, if we don't know where we are going there is not a lot of point in turning up.
I'm sure baz n I can cobble something together. If it's wrong blame him not me..
We can head tocholes way or back towards binnersland or is that the popular people's republic of binnerstan
I'm out, I'm local.
How far and how long do you want to go?
2 hours back for 10 at the bar.
distance is normally factored by faffage time. More faffage less mileage
Is ready to ride 8 or 8:15?
8.15 we all congregate at about 8 n there's normally some piss taking n then we're off....
Chocks away at 8:15
Ok, see you there.
Given that the Mrs still hasn't left work I'm not going to make it.
Sorry but despite my best intentions its not going to happen for me tonight!
Neals coming up and he knows the route...
[quote=MadBillMcMad ]Ok, see you there.
I never said i would be there I just quoted the front page
Off to get my shit together - hope I have a charged light actually!
Looking forward to the strava flyby for this one 🙂
Sorry I couldn't make it. Decided to ride over Cragg Vale a couple of times on the way home instead 😕

Good to see you all and interesting to do what I had termed the Swamp of eternal despair in "dry" conditions
