Could we have a dads/early techy pootle next? 🙂
Binners has been banned he said. What happened?!

From stw
Fork is off to Mojo as we speak... And the excuse to upgrade to 36' s deepens! Also will be forking out (get it) on some good flats... Any suggestions folks?
500!
Game of darts anyone?

I'd be very interested in this. A 10am set off basically means I've wiped out a whole day's worth of brownie points by the time I get back. A home-for-the-afternoon early start (7am or even earlier is fine) would be right up my street. Not that I'm complaining about the normal pootle arrangements, you understand...
For the record I was running old non-tubeless Nobby Nics tubeless on Crests (if you see what I mean) and I had no punctures. Must've sacrificed the right chicken and got the pentagram perfectly aligned when I put them on this time.
that link ain't working,
Sorry, can't seem to do images today 🙁

sounds good to me 🙂
Mintimperial in one. If a ride finishes c11.30am Im laughing plus it means a smaller group. NO negativity meant and you all know I cant ride for toffee so no snobbery.
I was up at 4am Sat, not because evilhorajunior was but...
I EXPECT him to be awake at that time
Noun 1. dad - an informal term for a fatherdad - an informal term for a father; probably derived from baby talk
Adj. 1. techy - easily irritated or annoyed; "an incorrigibly fractious young man"; "not the least nettlesome of his countrymen"
So a ride for grumpy blokes with kids?
I'm in. 😀
😆
Oh shut up you old wet farts.
I'm normally awake at 5.50am anyway so yeah a 7am start is fine.
I'll 'last minute' plan one soon.
Whinging sods.
Should have kept it in your pants.
😀
Cool
If anyone does suggest pedals for Chrissyj, just remember they need to br gold. I suggested the dmr vault but they're not in "her" colour.
Oooh gold....
I think the vaults in black might suffice!!
I know some people have a love/hate relationship with Superstar, but i use their nano pedals and they stood up to a few rock strikes on sat plus added bonus of being availble in gold.
7 am start? Even on a weekday I'm still in bed, may alarm goes off at 7. There are certain advantages to being childless, and lie-ins are a large part of that.
I anyone fancies a techy ride round marple, I can do you an evening ride (in good weather, these trails need to be dry)
I managed to slash the sidewall of a bog standard folding Ardent coming down Dirtlow rake? Running tubless.
First ever incident with that tyre in 14 months, replaced today with an exo version.
745 faff for a 8 start. 7 is a bit hardcore.
Any chance of posting the recipe for the apple & date cake!! It was Lovely & I'm thinking about making some this weekend! Thanks 😀
Bunnyhop's off for a ride with MartynS and Solarpowered, I'll get her to post it tonight
Excellent, thank you!! 😀

Out early Sat?
Hora, I can do early Sat, wife will be sleeping off a hangover
Cool. Everyone/anyone else who is about is welcome as long as you don't mind an early start with min faff at the start. Pace would be mine so no podiums.

email me and I'll gpx you up.
Did the route again today. Watch out on pindale some of the dry stone way has fallen onto the path. Chapel gate and rushup edge both turned into streams today.
@bigdean - thanks for the info, off out in a few mins, will head head off on a different route. Cheers, Paul.
Yeah, dont think i'll got to that ride - don't want to make you all feel embarrassed about making me do all the gate duty thingys....!
Out today with a few of the pootlers and have to say i havn't laughed that properly for months! Thank-you trucker! Poor MartynS had to put up with a couple of giggly girlies all the way (im still laughing now)...
Thanks guys!
