The 7hr ride was cavedale/mam tor etc as I remember saying in castleton me and iain will take the shortcut back to edale........the shock when you replied 'over mam tor old road then'
Since then all pootles have been circa 4hrs. Trust me if it went that slow a group would be allowed to splinter off the front.
Yeah that's it. I thought you were meaning that one from the description! Not to worry. I'm sure we'll have enough Magellans with us on the day to navigate back up the top of Hagg Side. Maybe up [url= http://streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?x=417839&y=388394&z=120&sv=417839,388394&st=4&ar=y&mapp=map.srf&searchp=ids.srf&dn=835&ax=417839&ay=388394&lm=0 ]here[/url]
I'll raise you your jelly babies:

So meeting in or about that paying carpark (with the posh toilets) next to Ladybower?
Is that meeting place near-ish the car park opposite Ladybower Inn? Only landmark I kinda know.
Jamie, from the ladybower inn, turn left over cutthroat bridge, you will see a sign for a pay and display car park on your left but there is limited free parking on the right side of the road too. If you get to the yorkshire bridge inn you have gone too far.
So how many people are likely to be turning up then Pook?
If you get lost 07957. Six five six one five six
Jamie,
Dunno! I used to take something of a register but it was too much faff. All I say is make sure you're there within 15 minutes of the set time or you'll miss us!
You won't get lost. Take the bamford road over the bridge from the Ladybower in and we'll be in the big car park down there. Heatherdene it's called.
Wifey's shifts never fall on a Sat...never...
.....yep, you guessed it 😥 It would appear that a Peaks Pootle isn't meant to be.
And I was going to bake this yummy flap jack to hand out, ya make it with condensed milk, extra nuts and fruit n stuff, bit of honey and bung it in the oven....SO good....alas!

Just up there on the left I had a poo al fresco whilst just to the right is a state of the art toilet block.......ah if only I'd known
Ladies and Gents, on saturday if you hear a strangled mancunian/huddersfield shout from the woods, don't look. You won't ever recover from the hideous sight you see.
It'll be bad enough going for a ride with him 😉

If he starts doing a Paula Radcliffe then I am going home.....even if I have to bike the 100 miles.

I think he tried to do Paula Radcliffe once. It's what got him into biking because he wasn't fit enough to keep up by running.
Pook. Sent you an email to the addy in your profile. Let me know if you get it.
If anyones interested I'm selling this lot which I could bring along http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/fs-santa-cruz-chameleon-dialled-prince-albert-kspost-suunto-t3

We've bought something big with 2 wheels? Tell you tomorrow 😉
I'v not been on a STW forum ride before and don't know anyone on here either but i will be there tomorrow for the ride. Will be on a blue/red Prophet so give me a shout if you see me.
Adam.
Adam, I won't remember the bike, but you'll see us! Welcome along.
People should wear name badges 😉
We need to find a monument for a large group photo http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/weekend-photo-challenge-22nd23rd-january-2011
Ooh, woof! I have an idea for you 🙂
Monument? Dambusters!
PS pook, No Y in Jane 🙂
Yeah we definitely need a good group photo this time! The last few rides it's all been a bit ad hoc.
Not going to be able to make it, my phone told me not 🙁 Have a good one 🙂
looks like I'm not going either
my brother, who has the van, isn't answering his phone 🙁
Have a good one all!!!!
he's picked up now that it's too late to get there
very convenient 🙄
Great ride today, cheers everyone.
Chris here - 1 of the 2 uni lads - we got back about half 2
Robin has just mapped [url= http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/27300708 ]our complete ride from sheff and back - Here[/url]
37.3 Miles on a DH bike was interesting . . . cheers for the ride again 🙂

I triumphantly announced to my wife this afternoon that I cleaned the Beast and she just looked at me blankly.
Cheers Matt
Nice one matt! It gets easier once you know what's coming eh? Got a good techie route in mind if you have a taste for it now...
Really enjoyed it today. Glad you lot did too. Those ride stats are pretty good!
Who did i lend my gloves to?
Awesome ride today!
Really enjoyed it 😀 Cheer's to pook for sorting it out.
Best quote of the day was horas "went OTB's because he was thinking about eating" PMSL!!
Can't wait for the next one 8)
Cheer's Lee.
Ginger Voodoo pilot.
Horas excuses are nothing if not creative. If he isn't first down a hill its normally cos he needed a wee!
Awesome indeed! I too had a splendid time, first time out with STW people and everyone was very friendly and welcoming, thanks all.
Sorry we shot off without hanging around for a pint, I had to get back to help the wife corral and subdue a toddler hopped up on his grandparents' supply of sweets and chocolate.
Thanks to Pook for sorting it out and shepherding us all round a highly entertaining route. Didn't quite clean The Beast; next time...
Tom (Green/Black Gary Fisher, specs, red jacket)
Where / when did you start? I was out and about in similar places to you today. I was thinkign of hooking up but had time conflicts, but looks like it mightn't have been so bad after all
Great company, great route. Legs feel like lead now.
Next one in 3 weeks, nbt or Pook will confirm nearer the time.
