If anyone is interested ? Saturday the 26th November , thinking of starting at Lydeard Hill for a change .I'm probably going to make some Flapjack but don't let that put you off !Will also be a pub stop and as anyone who is a veteran of these occasions will testify the emphasis is definetly not on racing !!!!!Will be ably assisted by Mr Knott and i think some of the usual suspects will be in attendance .So if a Quantocks moan/bitch fest with beer appeals let me know .Aiming for a 10 o clock (ish) start so that we can show any newbies a load of the best bits .
I am in, not trying to be awkward but can do it on another day at about 11am at another place please 😉
Andy settles on that day as it IS my actual b/day and i haven't got to work !!!!Why not L/H ?Or are you just taking the proverbial ?
Me moan / bitch never 😀
I will be there but will need directions to the meeting point....proper ones please 😀
sounds good bit early for me but ile try and be there..
A Q's moany/bitchfest ride with non-racing oldboyz ...... I'll have some of that 🙂
PS any chance of starting @ Staple plantation car park @ 10.30 instead 😉
Les L/H too far / awkward ? Just thought i'd show off some of the lesser ridden stuff .
Found out today that The Plough is getting new owners but date is not set yet .So unsure if they will be open for this , i have to ring a few days before .
Count me in ...... but you knew that anyway .
Below Roland makes a splash on todays Qs ride.

Still waiting for directions Mr Fart!

makey clickey linky please Mr Knott
Actually I've got a friend in Barnstaple I want to go and visit....
Well come and visit us this weekend and we can go together.
Hmm.....
[url= ]clicky linky thingy here[/url] (bigger map)
are you havin a laff?!! i can just about find the usual car park 😆
it is easy to find? if so then the above will be fine - if it's not then you'll know that the above means jack to me!
Spose I could always come down to stare at Aleigh's bottom. That could be fun.... 🙂
Bagborough? Cothlestone? WTF is this on K-Pax? (I'm watching it at the moment).
I like birthday bike rides but that looks potentially north and frozen...
Elf, glad to see you're easily pleased still...!!
Small* things, small minds, Aleigh... 😀
*But(t) perfectly formed. 😉
mines not! 😆
and no i won't be wearing lycra 😛
Yeah tis! Well it's not bloody massive, is it ffs? 🙄 Unless it's expanded greatly since last I saw you. 😐
it's the same fyi!
i haven't seen you for well over a year i think?!
I'll be there! Only just seen this thread - is it meet Lydeard Hill then? That map doesn't mention Lydeard so bit confused.
I have no idea Anna....I will be meeting knottie beforehand at this rate!
Oh well... got a few days to sort it out. See you there (wherever that is) then!

or
or meet somewhere easier first ?
if someone collects me from taunton or bridgwater I'll lead the possee to lydeard hill car park.
If I'm not too tired after a night shift, I'd like to tag along for a couple of hours , if thats ok. Shane, I'll be riding up from Bilgewater if you want some company.
reckon i better make a bit more flapjack !
yeah you had!!
got the ali nav sorted now ? xx
no! am speaking to knottie later
sounds like a plan ! you could follow me but .....
well if it's not easy to find you won't see me there haha!
its easy to find !
It is when you know the way knottie 😉
Shane can give you a lift if you want one? Will drive through Bridgwater.
Planning to make cake tomorrow night as well oldfart! It'll be "after ride" cake, so should complement your "during ride" cake nicely 🙂
Did someone say 'cake'? (leans slightly & elevates nostrils in an 'Ahhh, Bisto' stylie).
Is this ride open to all-comers? I've not been to the Quantocks before but if I can get the MIL to childmind I'd be up for it..
open to all who can bearing rolands grumpy oldmanness . ha ha join us it'll be fun.
Anna
Yes I know (giggle giggle)
Cheers for that. I'll have to decline this time, just found out the mother in law's off the the 'midlands for the weekend, so I've got the kids.. Another time eh, as it would be great to hook up with people who know the area (I'm in Lyme).
Mike.

we ride up there loads and your more than welcome to join us .
Only just seen this. Knotty, i'll more than likely come but will give you a ring tomorrow evening.
Need to get out on the bike as its been sat in the shed for the last month 😳
Thanks Knottie - hope to get some time over the Christmas break.
not long now - i am rather excited!!
gonna ride up from taunton, nice 9 mile uphill warm up so I'm gasping from beer, cream teas and other b'day nutritional intake .
I maybe however late or non there due to continued intake of Guinness since 6pm.
I call it a protein shake so if I. climb well tomorrow, you know my poison.
So nice to cycle the Qs again today, see old friends and meet new folk. Great day out, thanks all 🙂
