Looking forward to it and its not as far as you'd think!
Not bad when you've got a meeting in Clitheroe in the afternoon. I'll be there. 😀
I should be ok now that I can walk again 🙂 Anyone needing a lift from the Valley area give a shout.
I'll be there.
could do. maybe.
I'm in!

She turned me into a newt.
...I got better.
Is there good riding around Sabden?
I cant really think of any that would be a sustained ride?

Clitheroe
Whenever I see that word it reminds me of something, can't remember but its in the tip of my tongue
Ok ok, Im off thread!
Yeah,
Those are the bits I would be looking at.
Theres also the Bridleway of the back of Pendle to Barley that's quite good in the summer but leaves you with a bit of a ride back to Sabden
Some fair climbs in there too, Good luck Binners 🙂
I'm working til 7 on Monday but will chuck the bike in the boot.
Scrap the last. I'm now working til 11 on Monday so won't bother chucking the bike in the boot. 🙄
Will have to console myself with a cheeky morning ride instead. 😉
Have a good un. Weather looks good!
yeah, i've still got too much house moving stuff to get through so i'm out too (but i'll be moved by next week, which is nice!)
Rivi ride next week then Mr herbivore?
unlikely!
i'll be busy, gotta hand the flat keys back on the 31st so maybe the week after? although i'd rather not lead...
bit of a mission for us southerners, coed y brenin today has rather knackered my legs aaaaaaaaand i've got an 8 day old baby boy here now who needs some daddy time 🙂
Congrats!
(On mini scales - not doing the beast 😀 )

I'm 50-50 at the moment. My back's a bit sore as a result of riding a bike too much and not doing enough of lying on the floor doing boring bloody core strength exercises.
Congrats Scaled. Like the way you managed to fit in a Coed Y Brenin trip a week after the birth 🙂
Who is out tonight then?
Too far for me, sorry.
I'm in. I mean out. I'll be there.....
Doesn't look like I'll be making it tonight chaps. Too much to do. Apparently this self-employment lark involves me working my ass off, as opposed to my initial idea of posting stuff on here all day, going out on my bike a lot, homes under the hammer, pub lunches, and maybe a spot of shoplifting in Tesco, in my pyjamas and Ugg boots.
As a bit of blatant plugging though, if anyone wants an A3 framed, window mounted print (printed on rather lovely matt colourfast film) of the now iconic* MNPR turbines image, I've got two left here from my last print run....

Mates rates for MNPR regulars. Oh... I've got one in the original warm greys instead of the oranges, in a black frame, that looks rather good too. And I can do bigger images, up to A0 to order. I've done an A1 for someone last week, and it looks bloody awesome, even if I do say so myself. Plug over 😀
* I've deemed it iconic, so there. Legend in my own lunchtime, me
Binners. I'd like one of those very much please.
cash/brown envelopes suitable?
I'll be there
binners- any progress on the Rivi design? no rush, i was just wondering...
I'm still in
nick - cash, pies, and beer are all acceptable forms of payment. Just drop me an email mate.
xherbivorex - got two Rivi images very nearly finished. Just need tweeks and should be finished next couple of days. I'm also doing an illustration based on the silhouette photograph I took of your good self on Holcombe Hill in the snow. So you can have a picture of yourself on your wall, if thats not too narcissistic for you 😀
Ill take a framed print if you can send it to sunny London
Plum
Plumber. I'd actually just mailed you, as I know you were one step ahead of me in suggesting I should do some prints of these, months ago.
In future I will actually listen to you 😀
I'll be there as long as I can get a lift with Chipps.

ideal for the bathroom, pretty much...
Thanks Binners
I have replied to your email
You are smarted than I look 🙂
Plum
Susan, have you got a website for your pictures yet?
I'll be there as long as I can get a lift with Chipps.
Looks like I'm going to make it (isn't ibuprofen great!) so if you have trouble lift-wise you can jump in with me if you want.
Doris - my Website is nearly finished. Just working on it now. Hence not playing out tonight. Need to get it live in the next couple of days. When it does, I will be celebrating by taking the afternoon off and going for a ride in Hebdon 😀
Watch the space
I will be there tonight - rear gunner as is now the norm...
Sorry still not fully fit after the op going out on medium rides but not up to the rigours of a full blown MNPR. Binners if you mean Hebden (not sure of Hebdon) could meet up as I'm still of work you should have my email from the tee shirt comms let me know.
full blown MNPR
I presume by this you mean getting lost and breaking bikes/bones? 🙂
brennak - just mailed you about Thursday mate
shorts or trousers....?
Speedos?
It felt cold on the tops after dark last night, so I'm sticking with shorts over bibtights.
(Also, Cheers Daz)
I'm lurgyied so unfortunately I'm out. It's looking nice out there. And I'd say it's now shorts weather...
Shorts? But it's not May yet!
Not that I'm coming, but have you ever seen me in long troos? Pedal harder, dammit!
I was out on Saturday in shorts and it was fine - just wondered whether the temperature was likely to drop much this evening...
My trip to the shed would suggest that it is going to be chuffing cold.
Probably the wrong thread but just putting it out there...

Already in the area and it's a little parky. Clear skies makes for star spotting on the tops later. No I don't mean you Craig.
I already have my pass for that Craig.
Ooh a CHOCOLATE festival??!!
Chocolate and beer! Something for everyone there, surely?
Big thanks to Gaz and Steve for leading us round tonight...

Good ride that - although it has to be said that it was a hilly one! Made up for it on the downhill though - awesome descent!
Thanks to Chipps too for buying me a beer! I had a feeling i had forgotten something and i was right.
Shame about Gaz's car though...
What happened to gaz's car?
Bloody brilliant ride that. Probably the best downhill I've done yet on a MNPR. Not as much climbing as I'd expected though. Maybe we should go to the top next time?

Top ride last night apart from that massive hill that got it he way.
The 3 down hill sections were scary fast
I hope Gaz got the fire out in the end.

Witchcraft?
Witchcraft?
No, just your average MNPR!
BTW - its a very dark place is Sabden at night...
Nearly as bad as David's exploding bike...
What happened? Do you need more zip-ties?
Definitely cursed that night.
Seatclamp bolt sheared off when I tried to undo it just after the first down. After messing around with zip ties, we gaffer taped the seatpost in place, meaning I could put some of my weight on it for the enormous climbs that came next.
I then pinch flatted on the very last few metres of trail.
Really, really excellent descents though 😀
Bother. And bother again.
Better luck next time!
