I've designed and printed the attendance certificates for those that made the cut.

For those that didn't.... You've not just let yourselves down....

I might be up for one in the church before. Depends on work though so can't guarantee it just yet. If you see someone in there wearing a montane primaloft jacket looking lonely that'll be me 🙂

I note rather ironically that the weather forecast is quite good tonight.

Susan of the Year? I'm afraid that there really isn't any doubt who this years winner is...

Now 'tw*t of the year' is a little too close to call!

What name is it booked under? I suppose there won't be too many tables with 15 complete strangers on it though.

You booked it under the name wittonweavers? Did they laugh?

On the tram. Apologies in advance for my inebriation. It's Christmas and my work is full of alcoholics.

Oh... and Hans Rey turned up.

So I see. And my missus's mate, who I was ordered to bail out on this for didn't. ****. Turn. Up.

🙄

Glad you all had a good time, see you in the new year.

Cracking night. Thanks for sorting HtS/Craig. The Strava top trumps was very entertaining.

I suspect I'll be playing my own version of Top Trumps in the morning.

Deep fried sprouts on your Christmas burger sir?

Oh and Hans Rey really did turn up 8) 8) 8)

Absolutely cracking night! Thanks Craig. And Mrs B has been giving me the 'yes dear' treatment as I get giddy telling her I've just had me tea with Hans Rey. HANS ****ING REY!!!! 🙂

The best bit was when Hans(first name terms now) came manualling into the restaurant with 15 burgers balanced on his front wheel and then flicked them all onto everyone's plate. Damn cool.

I'm now downstairs on the sofa bed because....

a) my enthusiastic telling of how I've just had my tea with a mountain biking legend has woken the youngest up.

b) some of the sprouts may be starting to ferment already 😛 .

bleep test in 7hrs 38 mins. I may be able to rely on jet propulsion.

and Hans Rey turned up.

I've just spent the last half hour showing the Mrs various youtube videos to justify my excitement. Bit start-struck to be honest.

So. Much. Meat...

And that was just the gents sat around the table 😉

Great to see you all. Thanks for making the gatecrasher feel welcome. 🙂

Less Susanning in 2016 is already my motto.

Having told her that it's like Eric Cantona turning up for your 5 a side teams christmas do, she's still got that look on her face that's only slightly more pity than contempt.

There has also been forced YouTube viewing 🙂

Cracking night that fellas!

Solitas was good - despite a shaky start at the bar downstairs! Burgers were great. Didn't have the Christmas burger but the lack of sprouts hasn't prevented a windy night!

Mrs WW remains unconvinced about Hans and tbh i'm not 100% sure that she feels the need to be convinced either! Never mind!

Have a good Christmas chaps!

I’d like to add that for a club that isn’t a club that was one hell of a turn out.

I didn’t know anyone around that table a couple of years ago and last night we filled a bar!

Roll on 2016 when there will be:
• Monday Night Pub Rides.
• BMX nights.
• A movie screening.
• Some falling off.
• The occasional wrong turn.
• A lot of piss taking.
• Pie.

To reiterate the rules of the MNPR club that isn’t a club.
1) Turn up.
2) Bring a bike.

I couldn’t help but notice that Hans broke rule 2. Chipps, have a word.

See you all next year for more of the same.

There was also a request last night to try and organise another track night at the velodrome and for us to have a go at cycle speedway...
