As it's a novice ride I thought round the car park and down the steps next to the toilets.
Jacobs?
Please not that annoying climb upto Hope Cross!!!! (Plus the equally annoying descent back from it) 😆
😯 all the steps?
All the steps rog. Maybe even a kerb.
Ooh I should be able to make this. Never actually been on a ride with anyone off here so it'll be a new one for me.
For anyone planning on getting the train from Manc. Sometimes the conductor on that train can be a right grumpy b*stard and will not let more than the regulation (only 4 I think!) no of bikes on the train. I've seen people turned away before. On the other hand I've also seen occasions where about 15 bikes are stacked on top of each other and stuffed in every corner 🙂

Better get a full susser then.
I thought you had a SS full suspension.
I still can't decide which bike to bring. Alfine trance or SS hardtail
Two weekends ago I 'dragged' my failing carcass up Jacobs. There was construction work being conducted on the section after Coldwell Clough. No probs, they workmen let us through (welcome rest TBH)...but there were only three of us mind.
Let me worry about the route. You lot sort the cake

Cannibalised for the Corratec, but can be rebuilt if we are doing curbs as well!

We're riding over the cakes too?
Can I suggest about 5 route changes?
...just like you ****ing do with mine every other week Pook 😉 😆
Yours? It's the same route EVERY week
Are we keeping the Movember look for this?
I was thinking this. Yes. Why not?
It's a necessity to come on the ride
I'm hoping to show up. On my mums bike. Possibly with a newbie and/or a couple of regulars
Will you have a mo?
No mo' than usual.
In my line of work it doesn't pay to look pedophillic
No mo for me either - couldn't be arsed this year
Cant be arsed? Your not weight lifting it. It just kinda sits there looking fruity.
Some of us have facial hair all year round
But some of us may struggle with producing a discernable amount of facial hair . . .. I could let my eyebrows run wild for a few days I guess ...

That was in my school report. Every. Single. Year.
Hurray!!, can do that date, so hope to join you.
Cake is no problem, facial hair might be. Clown's nose might be more appropriate as I fell off about five times last time I was in the Peaks 😳
Travelling from Northants/Daventry - happy to pick-up/take others.
Nursey! I like my ladies firm n fruity..
Gives me something to HANG ON TO!
This pootle has gone a bit weird
This pootle has gone a bit weird
That would explain the boner.
No this pootle is exactly as expected due to the high hora post quota
Alawys treat your bike like you treat your woman.....
I wish I could make it. How often do you have them?
Previously 4 or so a year. Since my little lad appeared it's been a bit quieter, but should get them going again next year regularly
The first ever Pootle:
What was all that nonsense at around 2.45 - all rolling the little slab? Not one drop off?
Nearly a nice front wheel comedy moment though 😉
Me and a friend of mine shall be there!
Hmmm..... what cake to make... 😀
STR - that pootle was so long ago, drop offs hadn't been invented.
Haha ^^ 🙂
pass stamped looking forward to it ask cook to get cake sorted
Are virgins* welcome?
*not met any of you before
Can we come too?
Might just be Sue, dependant on shifts, but we'll try our best.
Never been on a PPP before, am excited.
All welcome. See the 'ethos' on page 1
Pook, it looks like you lead a mean Pootle. For that reason, I'm in. 🙂
Your opinion may change come 10.15 on the first.

It'll be fine right up to the point you and the Grattans Catalogue Man start discussing route options.
Grattan's catalogue man?
