Howdo, pub ride fans!
I am hosting another pub ride. This one will be from the Chetham Arms, Chapeltown, Bolton BL7 0EW [url= http://www.chethamarms.co.uk/ ][/url] Starting at 8:00pm, so bring lights!
If you came on the last one I organised you will remember that I organised free chips. Well, I'm sorry but I haven't been able to do that this time. No, this time it's free sandwiches! Yay!
Also it's me birthday a couple of days later so if you fancy coming along then you are more than welcome to have a nice chilled ride for about 1 1/2 hrs and then come in the pub for a pint (no, I'm not buying!) and a butty. Come on, it'll be ace. Please pass it on. Ta, Sparkle.

Sounds like a plan.

I'm in if I can get a new rear wheel sorted.

Hmmmm my doorstep and I have the kids Monday night. I'll see what I can do. If not, as it was my birthday yesterday, I'll grant you all one nights free access to my land and cage the hounds.

mr potatohead - we're meeting out the front of the Hare and Hounds in Holcombe at 7.30. That should be reet for getting us there for 8. Its 6-7 miles on the road. You joining us?

I'm supposed to be playing footy but if they have enough players I might jump ship in favour of a ride, If I'm coming I'll be at the hairy mounds for eight

Great stuff! Should be a good turn out. Please try to get there on time so I can give the pub numbers for the sandwiches before we set off.
Clover - the sandwiches are free but not the beer! ;0) Nowt too technical so should be ok on cx. I'm doing it on mtb though.
Please note - just because its my pre-birthday ride you don't *have* to buy me a pint after... ;0)

Think I’ll give it a miss tonight. Just back from a particularly good holiday and my head isn’t in the best place. I’d end up falling off and/or telling people that I like to eff off.

Think I’ll stay in and watch Doc Martin and catch up on some Walking Dead.

See you next week when everything is tickerty-tape.

Have fun.

A few people on the ride asked about my new cheapo Chinese lights, so I may as well ad a link here. First time out but well impressed for less than £30
