Hora, If you can do that in 4 DAYS I'll buy you a pint
nice route BWD.. but 4-5 hours??
How long are you stopping in the Cafe, you must have worked in at least an hour I reckon.
using the full suss (I know, I know, not really necessary etc
Pffft, I'll be bringing the squishy steed for soem free-core-hangover-minceing.
I'll be guiding a ride with a hangover
I'll be at a BBQ the night before so my hangover's going to be epic! I'll be bringin up the rear, I might even bring a camera or two just for an excuse to stop and sit down every so often!
I don't want to be a Cassandra but you really shouldn't undertake aerobic/physical activity the night after ingesting blood-thickening agents.
Sunday league Weekend warriors can and do keel over on the football pitch?
That's obviously a conservative route and time estimate given the size of the group. If the ground were frozen, it would obviously be quicker. There is, however, no cafe stop allowance, because I don't do cafe stops during rides... The good thing about the five-hour estimate is that it gives us plenty of time for a post-ride cake and recuperation session. If people want to do a longer route, it could be extended, a loop above Bradwell for example (hint)... 🙂

Yellow card for being the first person to flaunt their slowness in advance... 😉
Hora, if you have nothing useful to say, please shut up
Ok 😳 as long as you ride down Cavedale with me

That'll surely be requiring a benedictine-monk-style vow of silence then? 😉
I was hoping to make it folks. My parents were having the kids, but my dads been taken pretty ill this week. 🙁
Have a good 'un y'all
Joking aside, if the weather's half decent, I'm thinking about riding over to Edale from the Glossop/Hayfield end of things if anyone fancies a steady, scenic roll over either Jacob's or the Roych Clough track.

Warfrin chaser's it is then!
+1 for cavedale

Naughty man! We can't mention slowness. As BWD says 'yellow card'.I'll be bringin up the rear,
binners - hope your dad gets well soon 🙁
Don't post the route - keep it as a surprise !
Hora - yes.

My current recovery means 15-20 miles will be OK
Yay Marcus, I wondered when you'd be sufficiently recovered.
Good to hear you're back on a bike.

Ssshhh, don't tell everyone, I see my surgeon tomorrow & the physio again next week, have done a little riding but not what they prescribed 😉
My own rules - wear a support & no jumps or drops. I do everything else they tell me though.
Look what I did.

You bastards! I'm in.
And me!
Stick me on the list too please pook. Dont think Slowrider can make it but his dad and bruv might be coming. That lists getting BIG
Cool.
also.... compared to previous lists, its quite short!
26. Eckythump?
Nope, sorry Pook, I'm nursing two broken ribs and a torn shoulder so I can't make this one.
I was just asking after steelforreal (Marcus) as he's been off the bike for ages and I know it's been doing his head in.
Please make sure you drag him down Parkin Clough 😆
30 odd people down parking clough on a Saturday.... now there's a thought! sorry you can't make it.
*parkin. ;o)
I'm in, along with a couple of mates too. Are we still meeting at Edale carpark for a 10.00am set off?
meeting at 10 for a 10.15 off. Allow for some faffage.
Might be the first one I've ever been able to make. Where's the start?
Car park across the road from the train station, Edale
Cheers.
This pootle thread is much friendlier than the first Swinley attempt...Just goes to show us northerners are a nice bunch 🙂
what twang said, im not playing this time chris. probably be late october before ill try weekend riding again (other than with the kids down the jumps).
harry and smiffy say they are going though. shame!
*waves hello and shrugs apology to pootle regulars*
May pop along for this one, could just about manage 20m on an SX Trail 😉
gonna be a good one.
hope mybike works. new brakes and gearing going on tonight.
Oi Ian! Wet or dry I'll hope we save Parkin Clough for when I'm fully recovered, like next year AND a dry day !
Joining this ride is part of my 'rehabilitation' & anyway 20+ down that probably isn't a great idea.
I'm going to enjoy the Pook surprise route & [s]catching up with[/s] err. heckling Hora !!
wotcha got chris? want to borrow a big tool?
20+ down that probably isn't a great idea.
Don't worry, I didn't intend that to be taken remotely seriously :o)
Enjoy.
Get well soon !
just replacement bits tom. Plus, my tool's mighty big enough thankyou.
ecky thump - I know, just can't seem to get smilies working on my phone!
😉
