We could go from the Ainsworth arms in Bolton. Me and Gaz were going to ride from there tonight. We could ask the landlord about some post ride grub.
Any news?
I'm doing the Manchester 100 on Sunday and my attendance on Monday is certainly questionable!
Steve's suggestion of the Ainsworth Arms does sound like a good one to me though! The blast down through the woods at the end last time was great!
[s]Having seen the weather forecast[/s] I'm also doing the manchester 100 at the weekend so my participation is somewhat questionable too.
We could always just go to the pub?
we could pick a destination and a time and the rule is no driving ? may be able to get Mrs Ed to be home in time for me to make a swift pint and pie
which ainsworth arms ? there are two, I'm guessing you mean the one near smithills (as opposed to the one on bolton road on the way back towards bury)
Yes near Smithills. Top of Haliwell Road
I'm also doing the Manchester 100 on Sunday and if my recent lack of riding is anything to go by I may actually be still doing it at 8.15 pm on Monday.
We didn't get to the Ainsworth on Monday but I don't think we'll get a large enough group to ask for post ride grub. Sounds like many Susan's will not be attending and I may even change my name if the weather is really bad. 🙂
I'm a maybe.
Works becoming an increasingly expanding and tedious way of filling my life up.
maybe for me too. i'd like to attend...
Been informed that it's the missus' sister's birthday tomorrow and we're all going to the Outlaws' house to get filled to the gunnels with meat and potato pie. I've known about it for ages apparently. So once again the curse of Monday strikes me again, though the matriarch's M&P pie is a work of art.
So, are we having The Ainsworth Arms (BL1 8BY) and have we got a leader?
I'm not going to make it tonight. Combination of aching from yesterday, sore throat and cough today and work deadlines. Full house really!
Have a good ride...
Looking at my print deadlines for the week, there's not a cat in hells chance I'm going to make it out tonight.
I'm quite interested in gatecrashing funkrodents outlaws for the Meat and tattie pie though.
Have a good 'un folks
pretty sure that time will get the better of me today so i'm looking at an hour up rivi (at best) myself, i'm gonna need to be back home by 9ish.
I'm not going to make it. Still half asleep after yesterday so think a rest day is in order. The weather actually looks ok so the rest of you should have no excuse.
Is anyone out at all?
I’m up for it if others are but I’ve also got some decorating to finish so, if nobody is out, I’ll take the opportunity to roller out all of the greasy little handprints that have appeared on my stairs and landing wall.
I'm moving house this week (hopefully - it'll be that or killing a lawyer), so no riding for me either I'm afraid.
Susan's all around by the looks of it. I have a physio appointment at 6.30 so can't guarantee I'll make it. Just spoke with Gaz and he's also been roped into decorating. Should we re-arrange for next week and i'll speak with the pub about grub if we have better numbers?
OK
I'll break out the rollers myself. My wrist is "crebbing " anyway.
call me susan also
I was watching the thread in a 'I'll Susan if you all Susan' kind of way
Well now I'm Susan too, but it's just all the peer pressure, right?
Are you decorating as well now too?
I'm Susan, and so's my wife
i'm hopefully still going out up rivi for an hour or so...
Can I just be clear and say I'm definitely not decorating. I'll be sat in front of the telly drinking beer.
