Hi
I have recently lost my riding partner (brother) to wife and child! I do ride alone but am looking for a night ride group that I could perhaps join? I'm in the North West of England, so Rivington,Gizburn or similar is handy.
Just thought I would ask
Cheers
John

Do a search on here for Monday Night Pub Rides.usually North Manchester, Rivi, Ramsbottom, Prestwich kind of area with occasional jaunts over the border into that Yorkshire.

In fact, it being a Thursday someone will be along shortly to post up next weeks ride....

Be warned though. We are a highly competitive bunch of race whippets .

We're all devastatingly handsome too

Blackburn district MTBers meet on a wednesday night in various locations, accrington,rossendale valley areas in particular. Find these on Facebook. Gisburn group post rides for wednesday and thursdays I think too.

We dont do race pace but we dont end up in the pub afterwards.

When I'm running the world (and its coming comrades, its inevitable), not going to pub after a night ride will be punished in the same way as nazi collaborators were in France. Your name is on zee list Junkyard!

On the plus side you will never catch me and I will distract you by dropping these behind me like a Bond car does with nails and oil

There are also the infamous Bogtrotters Southern Wednesday night group, you can find them on facebook. They ride your neck of the woods.

You've confused the matter by putting NW, when you are in the SW, or at best the midW. Tut.
