We should have a round of hora's excuse bingo on this thread, the prize being wiping his arse after his obligatory mid-ride dump. So glad I'm not coming!
I'll be there. Anyone going through Whaley Bridge i can steal a lift from?
very welcome suggestion James. Sambob - pack your own bloody jelly babies this time.
Will do. And i promise i didn't mean to throw yours all over the road...
Twice
😉
Oi I didn't poo last week! I'm saving it...
I thought i only did it once?
Bump.
I'll be there and i can give you a lift Sambob.
Nice one. I've still got your number, do you want my postcode again?
You might have dropped two jelly babies. Pook doesn't like sweetie genocide 😮
I really, really would like to join you for one of these rides some time, but I already have plans and I doubt my mates would be up for joining in. :-S
Next time, maybe.
At the bottom of the old Mam Tor road i dropped two thirds of a packet. I should probably turn up in disguise so he doesn't realise it's me....
What sort of time you usually set off Pook? Be driving a couple of hours is all, so if it's first first thing then would probably have to give it a miss.
Yeah. Should be able to make it.
Cheers
Matt
Mebbe.
I think its normally 1030?
Anyone going from Sheffield who fancies giving a lift to a 30 yr old who, for no particular reason has never bothered to learn to drive ?!
:-S
I never bothered to learn either (well it looks that way)
May just be up for this, will let you know later in the week whether I can make it or not.

I didn't pass my test till I was 30...still pissed off now I didn't do it sooner.
Fancy this but not sure I'll be in any fit state after Friday night, got a rearranged Christmas do so might be a bit worse for wear.
Will see later in the week how drunk I need to get
Slight threa hijack - big thanks to Pook, Podge et al - met them all at Stainburn yesterday and cheered me up loads. Struggling to enjoy riding my bike at the moment due to being ill for 2 months and putting all the weight I had lost back on in a flash. I had to ride on my own yesterday which was depressing and meeting them was fantastic. Only rode for 1.5hrs but was shattered afterwards.
If anyone is thinking of coming on a ride with this lot just go for it. You'll be made welcome and encouraged along if you struggling. There are a few bailout options on this ride you can take if the Dark Peak grinds you down too much but stick with it and youll have a blast.
Wondering if I come will I be travelling the furthest. Anyone beat 200 mile round trip? 8)
As lovely as it would be to see you all again I was working away at the London Bike Show this weekend so I think my GF would kill me if I buggered off biking on Saturday.

It'll be worth it 
Looking like a good week between now and the pootle, dry and brightso should help a lot with trail conditions. 200 mile round trip would be worth it IMO, the peaks is always a good ride.
robdod, we must have only seen you for about 10 minutes and half that was oggling the gold bar / stem combo.
glad it cheered you up
Well it seems like frightfully bad form not to put in an appearance.
And someone has to give Hora a wedgie at the top of every climb. Count me in
I'd been there about an hour before you said hello and was thinking about going home as I felt cack. Another run at the descent line was fun and made it all wirthwhile.
It's going to be my main aim to jump off the big rock by the time summer comes.
really? that's a bloody big rock
I've been doing stuff maybe 2/3rds that size nearer home, it's just a mind game really.
I want to jump off the rock without crapping myself, im hoping pooks video of that bit doesn't come out well.
It's worth noting for all potential pootlers that pook has a bit of an unhealthy obsession with rolls Royce which is bordering on delusional. He has been through claiming to be a chauffeur, a test pilot and a head badge polisher and now claims to have started work today as their international communications bloke. It's best to just humour him, poor fella.
Well its progress from his whole alien abduction/anal probe stories.
To be honest they were getting a bit tedious. Especially when he insisted on showing you the scars 😯
Thought it might be helpful if I posted a picture of Pook so anybody meeting up with the group first time will recognise him:

In your STW Peaks March 2010 video, is that Hora mincing down that slightly rocky tail at 5:02? I ask because he keeps sending me and a couple of others links to your videos to show what a 'good' rider he is and I'm sure he hasn't sent this one yet.
Disclaimer: I, and the others he sends links to, are well aware that he is anything but a good rider.
Hang on a minute. I won't hear a bad word about Hora's riding. The day he finally manages to find that elusive set of forks that actually WORK, the he'll be, like a TOTAL riding GOD!
If only CRC, Wiggle, Evans, Leisure lakes, and, yes..... some of you bastards on the classifieds ... stopped selling him broken and defective pairs that don't work, he'd be able to demonstrate his true prowess 😉
Surely he would also need to overcome his fear of riding along trails where being left-handed causes him to panic (e.g. where there is exposure to the left); Hypnotherapy? Or maybe Jedi could create some new left-hand-exposure trail with a catch net at Herts so when (if) Hora does his training course, they can concentrate on that all day.
Anyway, is it him or not?
I don't think it is, no
Well he has the same podgy cheeks / slightly stoned look that Hora has. Please don't tell me there are two Hora's out there; society couldn't cope.
Do you mean 5.02? Two riders riding away from the camera? It's not a rocky trail
Its lord podginton- he has slimmer cheeks than me and nation health specs.
What's happening with Alan? Is it the following week now at Guisburn?
3.02? That's him. It is Cavedale though which, to be fair, is a little more than [i]slightly[/i] rocky
It may just be possible that I typed the time wrong and I actually mean the section at around 3:02.
