[Closed] Mountain Bike clubs in Rossendale/Ramsbottom?

Bob down to leisure lakes bury, say hello and get your number on the phone list. Rides every Wednesday and Sunday mornings. Can be fun, full on techy or drunk depending..

Cool, thanks - will give them a bell. 🙂

do they do any rides from ride on? think they used to years ago anyway? might be worth givin em a bell! also check out rossendale road clubs website im not 100 percent if they do anything mtb related, but some RRC lads race xc and cross when i have!!

Also ask Andy at Ride On, I think they go out as well.

I think a bunch meet at The Hare and Hounds.

Keep an eye out on here also.

There is a Thursday night ride from the Hare and Hounds

19:30, bring beer money. Has been a bit erratic of late

Ranger rules.

Sometimes we do group rides in Prestwich which is only a 15 minute drive away.

Ranger rules.

Yeah man, he rocks, that Ranger.

Err, pardon my friends ignorance, but what are Ranger rules? 😀

I'm in accrington jollybodger but I normally ride in the lakes. Walna scar road next Saturday 🙂

Ranger rules......

Leave no-one behind

Have you not seen Blackhawk Down?

Very good. 😀

The Prestwich rules are similar. Nobody gets dropped unless

a) We mess up at the traffic lights (sorry again) or

b) You are a ####.

Not into ornithology, sorry.
I have seen goose down, but I've covered the hole with gaffa tape now.

Isn't binners local to there? If you want to [s]end up in the pub a lot[/s] go for a ride round there it might be worth looking him up.

I'll see your Playmobil 'Blackhawk Down' and raise you a LEGO
'The Shining':

b) You are a ####.

Looks like I'm not invited then

H&H rides have always been open to all, group ebb's and flows as does speed and distance and volume of beer

I got dropped on the last Prestwich night ride 🙁

I think they're trying to tell me something 😀

I got dropped on the last Prestwich night ride

Did you?

If so I need to add a c)

c) We screwed up.

It was more lost than dropped 😀

I just lost sight of Derek's rear light and took the wrong turn near Pilkingtons.

Still made it to the pub before closing. 🙂

OK

d) You screwed up.

Yep. 😀

Only ridden that section a couple of hundred times. 😐

Managed to get lost about five miles from home the other day too.
Bit embarrasing asking for directions when it turns out you can actually see your own house at the time. 🙂

Harry & Rusty,

Let me know when you are next planning a group ride in Prestwich, It would be good to meet some local riders.

Are night lights a must?

Regards,
Chris

Hi lee im in hasllingden myself if your after someone to ride with im more than happy to meet i ride at lee qurry and gisburn and some times near peel tower but am looking for somthing new. Message me if interest

Hiya,

Thanks for all the responses, I'll get in touch soon.

Lee

we should have an accrington MTB club. I drive up the lakes in my van most weekends on my own.

there used to be organised rides every wednesday night from the back of ride on years ago, it wasn't anything official but more a case of a group of riders going out using the shop as the start and end point.
i dont think theyve done anything like that for a few years but i think they now meet up at lee quarry most wednesday evenings for a play about.
you're better off popping into the shop and speaking to jan, anthony, andy or craig.

Are night lights a must?

Only if it is dark.

www.woollybacks.co.uk are st helens based but ride out all over lancashire and are great set of lads to ride with.....

Not sure if its been mentioned but the boggtrotters ride in your area. www.boggtrotters.org.uk.

nice peeps and lots of fun. Usually a saturday and sunday ride depending on your tolerance of mud rain and grit.

Only if it is dark.

Yeah, thanks Harry I see your point. I should get some bought as over the last few days I'm not sure I saw any sun at all.

Let me know when you next planning a ride in Prestwich, it would be good to learn some of the trails.

Chris
