same way we did the second time you route planned. the ONLY SENSIBLE way.
missing out the surprisingly rideable grassy climbs?
Pook was that the ride where we had to coax your thoroughly jammed chain out of the spokes??
Everyone shot off! I may be out unfortunately. 🙁
no. helvellyn was the one you lot wanted to kill me. sticks pass is teh dogs.
hora, no dropping out on Saturday.

Oh my aching sides. Are you at all familiar with his work?
No I said I can't come now. Have a good un.
he once organised a ride for us Binners, route, meeting place, time etc, then when we got there and rang to find out where he was he said 'edinburgh'.
I expect little else, but its made my route easier to sort.
Thats what sleep deprivation does to you. Memory of a sive 😆
shurrup - you're just bloody useless!
Thats nothing. His best one was inviting someone up from London (waves at Marwood) to take them out round the peaks. I said I wouldn't mind coming out too.
Then he got leathered on Saturday night and phoned and informed me on Sunday morning that I was meeting him, giving him a lift to the Peaks the guiding on the ride as he couldn't be arsed getting out of bed!
He's ****ing hopeless!
As on the Swinley thread, I'm out due to new glasses required. Will attempt to be on the next one.
sorry to hear that sandwich. keep an eye out for future rides
Err that was in early 2005 and I got up, gave him a lift in my then mini.....then I remember going for a hoon 😀
There was also the time he brought Marwood to the Peaks, then didn't ride himself (or is that the same one?His best one was inviting someone up from London (waves at Marwood) to take them out round the peaks. I said I wouldn't mind coming out too.
Many years ago nbt and I sat in a carpark in Calderdale waiting for the elusive Hora, who, never turned up.
Edit Ah then you've just answered my question Hora.
slowriders bro here, me and my dad will be coming. see you all on saturday
nice one harry
Count me in.
Hora, why aren't you riding ??
I was wanting to meet you again you big lump.
I'd like to confirm to Bunnyhop that these were two separate occasions. There have obviously been many more at various locations.
I repeat my assertion that he's ****ing hopeless!!
I've only got so much time this weekend as got to do family duties as well. Its going to be most of the day and I can squeeze a good run in in the morning and be home by 12 if I get out early instead.
I'd like to join you if that's OK - will either be on something sensible or embarrassingly over-biked, depending on what I manage to bolt back together!
looking forward to you joining us Phil. Also, bikes disassembling themselves mid ride is something of a pootle tradition.
As the new boy its expected that you will either have forgotten vital kit (memorably someone once forgot their bike), or have a major mechanical. And buy the beers after.
Hora being the only man in the country who's ever procreated, obviously 🙄

he's like the Pope... or a bear....
Looks like I should be able to make this....
Sole South West STW chapter REPRESENT!
Though if anyone can bring a 10mm allen key and some threadlok that would be grand- I can almost guarantee my cranks will fall off otherwise...
Looking forward to it 🙂
Eviljoe
good ciders also available in the north.
Will I get laughed off the mountain if I turn up on a 29er? 🙂 If not I might tag along...
Some nutter used to come on a 29er fixie with dropped bars. Not sure what happened to him...
no you won't. and everyone will want a go!
I have both of thos things in the garage joe, will try to remember to pack them
awesom-o, you might have to give me a go if your bikes fits me 🙂
no probs nbt...so long as it comes back in a usable state 🙂 it's a 21" hardtail. I've spread the word to a few weekend warriors living in my street so there may even be a few more for the list.
21" is too big for me, I ride a 17". cheers though!
BWD, you mentioned a few days ago you may ride from glossop, how far are we talking roughly from glossop to edale? It might save the hassle of loading the car...but then again I'm not exactly in peak physical condition (I'm sure sambob can second that)...
I think it's about 8 miles Awesome-O, could be well off though.
cheers sambob, that would probably put a pretty big dent in the days energy reserves...
According to my calculations, it's about 12.25 miles on the basis of riding to Hayfield on the road, then up Highgate Lane, over South Head and the Roych then up Rushup and down Chapel Gate. There's a fair bit on the road, so I figure a couple of hours.
There is a little bit of climbing, but it's all quite steady. So if you ride back after it's an extra 24 miles or so, but extendable if that's not enough. Or less maybe if you go over Jacob's, though I've not mapped that. [about the same that way and back over Middle Moor]
You could always ride over to Chinley and hop on the train there with Sam - Hayfield/Highgate Lane/back road down to Chinley.
add 15 miles of the ride to that
Hang on, I only have ten fingers, erm... twelvety? See, nothing really.
I think it's actually twelvetyseven. Teaching standards these days... I dunno.
I can i can't?
I'm driving down tonight and catching 40 winks on the back seat, so will probably be frying up my breakfast and making everyone jelous arround 10am :p
