Right then although it's 3 weeks Saturday thought i'd post this now .Chipps is a definite hoping Knottie and Sharki will help with the route Annabanana is bringing something to celebrate my birthday !!!.Need some idea of numbers what people want to do about grub .Grub wagon should be there .Depending on numbers will do he usual split groups .Again if not too many just one group .
So if you fancy helping this old gentleman !celebrate another passing year by riding the Qs put yer name down .So thats the 5th of December .More details to follow .
Pencil me in
I'll have a babycham
SM showing yer age a bit ?
I should be able to make it mate. I'll bring the gin 🙂
Babycham? That's a proper West Country (well, Shepton Mallet) drink... so count me in.
I'll be around for Sunday probably too if I (and anyone else) can stand the pace...
Crikey, a Quantocks ride when I'm actually not working (well not on the Saturday anyway).
Bring a spare drivetrain if it doesn't dry up some.
Gutted - broken collarbone means I am unavailable for selection 🙁
This was 'penned' into the diary
Yeah. I'll be there 🙂
Wear waterproof socks for all the stream crossings!
The Rose and Crown at Nether Stowey is a good B&B, decent rooms and bike washing facilities, price ok too - stayed there a couple of weekends ago.
I'd love to come. I've been trying to get down to the Quantocks for a while, and things keep getting in the way.
I'll bring a good-size hipflask of Scotland's finest. 😀
re-tasking the satellites now...
Expected to hear from C G ,Knottie ,Sharki and a few others by now .Bumpity bump !!
Arse! I'm in Plymouth that day. No fizzy wine for me. 🙁
Hoping I can make this. Can I be a pencil too? Cheers!
oldfart - depends on work situation 🙁 But I will try my hardest to be there!
pencil me in, where ye all meeting to?
"where ye all meeting to?"
Pub?
How long/mental will the ride and pace be? I'm assuming that group inertia will slow things down a little.
Where and when for the start? Might determine where I end up staying.
Looking forward to it. Seems I only ever ride the Quantocks in December. I really must get back when the streams are refreshingly cool, rather than ice-cube making...
would a slow old fattie be able to cope with tagging along?
sounds like a grand day out so count me in 😆

Hmmm not sure you want to ride a tag-along on the Q's 😉
Balls. 👿 Missus is in London that day with the car so I can't get there. I will ride in the Q's one day.
I can give you a lift if you need one mate, don't think you're too far from me.
Seeing as I've not ridden the Quantocks before, and have nothing else to do that day so far, there's no excuse for me not to be there really!
So see you all there... 😉
I'm good for this one... I can do saturdays!

That's very kind of you. I'm not thst far but it's in the wrong direction.
mmb you haven't been on one of our rides have you ?5 mph is caning it !!!!
cg would be good to see you before chrimbo !
10-15 minute bursts of barrelling down some interesting trail, followed much gassing and bimbling back up followed by more gassing, passing around foodstuffs, flasks, mild insults, and smiling a lot.
Repeat until legs go wibbly then retire to the pub/burger van. Sometimes there is cake. Really enjoyable in my opinion. If we keep this it risks evolving into a South West "scene".
Raceheads need not apply. 😀
Buzz in a nutshell mate !
Can't make this one i'm afraid OF. Family commitments, plus i might not have my new bike up and running by then.
singlespeedable? i may put in a debut appearance so pencil me in.
where are we starting from?
Its not sorted where we will all meet yet. it will depend on numbers. Lets not make this a huge group ride like the last one. The winter days are short remember. It maybe a good idea to start from holford if we want a pub finish , although I'll need to check opening times. Im thinking the dog pound climb to start ?
i'd like too, need to survive the cotswold ride first
Mr K good to hear from you again Best try for an earlier (and less faffage ) time ?Seems like about 20 people at the moment ?
I have been having computor issues (grrrrr) . Should be fun if Anna makes a big enough cake (hint hint).
Oh don't fret Anna's got the cake covered (so to speak ! )Wouldn't think time wise we would fit in with pub opening .Gets dark 430 ish and i guess happy jack at The Plough doesn't open until 6 !
if Anna makes a big enough cake
Cake?! But I've been making this for old fart...... no-one said it had to be cake......

AB take no notice of that lot !Carry on just making for me 😯 OF x .
Oooh just read that again AB i love a mystery !
I'm due to have my kids that weekend, but with a good turnout like this i guess i'd better put in an appearance, if only to set the pace....
My pay to pack lights incase if semi dark finish, 35miles is alot to pack into a winter ride on the Tox.
Set the pace ? 35 miles ?good job yer joking !Aren't you ?
No OF, i'm not kidding, time you boyz up'd the pace and bash out more than a few climbs/descents.
May i suggest intercoms so we can do the socialising whilst riding, and soup in the camelbacs so we can eat on the move.
Yeah but don't forget we aren't all on the same medication as you 😆
