Dual ply tyres front and rear, 160mm fork and 33lb weight? I'd say that was overkill for a pootle!
True, but you don't pootle on the downs so i think it's forgivable.
Count us in I'll bring a camera to make sure there's some mincing going on.
It's Sunday cos I'm free.

Oh well I'll have to miss this one as I'm 7 Stanes bound. Maybe at the next one>
Thanks for that Captain Pea[b]cock[/b]
😉
Looks like you've gaffer taped Garfield to that bike !!!
Has he developed opposable thumbs yet? 🙂
tollah - MemberCount us in I'll bring a camera to make sure there's some mincing going on.
I'm out then.
Unless it snows and wokboy doesn't turn up again. 😉
We might be able to talk another tandem team into coming aswell.
We'll be able to have some full on tandem trail jostling then.
tandem jousting. That'd be ace.
I've just shown that picture to my cat & made the point that there [u]are[/u] friendly and cooperative cats out there, that like to do stuff instead of sleeping 97% of the time ... she didn't look convinced & went back to sleep!
I'll be turning up without the cat 
Can I jst point out that I *hadn't* mentioned tandems to pook, I was planning to drive there then I could get drunk and be driven home
how does a tandem affect that plan?
3rd page and hora hasn't put in an appearance yet?
NBT could stoke on the way home, therefore eliminating the need for any rational thought.
He'll be looking at this but steadfastly sticking to his 'no STW in summer' rule
He's 'injured' apparently too.
It being a Sunday means I cannot pull the 'working Saturday' excuse.
My book of crap excuses is empty.
Therefore I will get out and ride me bike a bit so, I plan to see you all on the 12th 🙂
Winner, will Mrs Marsdenman be playing out too? Haven't seen you two in ages!
I'm going to an awesome rock concert* on that day, so won't have time for a pootle first.
*Take That, obviously only because the missus wanted to go 😳
I wanted to go to see Take That but I'm not paying ^) plus fees per ticket, and definitely not for two of us.
Rolls eyes at Stu againnnnn.
You had me at 'Peaks'....i'm in.
@nbt - hello mate - just me i'm afraid - Mrs MM has not really ridden since her 'off' on the commute late last year - need to get her out again at some point - or sell her baby 'bred to fund my lust for change 😉
Looking forward to making a fat fool of meself, catching up with you both and meeting that lot up there ^^^^ on the 12th 😉
Shaping up to be a biggie!
You dead today chris? I am!
Not feeling too bad to be honest - legs and stomach a bit achy but I'm not dead! I'll feel worse later I reckon. Email not working for me btw
I'm not sure we'll be on the tandem. The trails around Hayfield are technical in places, and even though all doable on a tandem, I'd feel happier in control of my own bike.
Don't be put off though other tandemists 🙂
Do you mind if I join in?
Question though, is there anywhere in Hayfield I can get breakfast?
There is a cafe on Kinder road ( Rosies tea room), not sure what time it opens.
Which way are you coming in?
I'll probably come over the Snake and drop down, heading from Doncaster so could come over Winnats instead.
I'm thinking they'll be something open in Castleton. Or you could try ringing a local B&B and see if they'll fit you in for a breakfast only.
I'd love a lift (from South Manchester) if anyone is going from my way? 🙂
ooo another donny based rider...!
im coming from the G/F's house in leeds though this weekend...
ill be the nervous looking ginger one... that should have been on a green meta 5 but due to rear shock issues will be on the light blue inbred instead..!
Hi all, Room for an oldie if your not going too fast.
I'm going to need a calculator to count this!
Sadly, Rosie's only opens at 10am,

Ok if you just want to grab a bacon sarnie and coast down to the meeting point though!
You might want to give them a call and see if they might feed you a bit earlier? If you do, let them know there's a group ride and more people might be interested in calling in
If you come over the snake pass you'll go through the middle of Glossop to get to Hayfield - there'll be something open there, even if it's one of the chains
Jen's diner (burger van) on the road between Glossop and Hayfield is surprisingly tasty, and fairly cheap. So difficult to ride past when riding up that road 🙁

I ride past it every time, no problem whatsoever, I can honestly say it has never occurred to me to partake of her dubious-looking fare... plus it seems to be a bit random as to whether she's there or not. There's the van at the car park up towareds Kinder Res, again, no idea when she fires up the grill.
I don't know what'll be open in Glossop at that time on a Sunday tbh, there's the caff on the left just a bit along from where you turn left at the traffic lights in the middle of Glossop, that might be open. There's a caff in the Co-Op by the station, but that won't be open until ten. I didn't know there were any 'chains', there's Costa on the High Street, that might be open if you're feeling cosmopolitan.
I'd offer you coffee and croissants chez moi, but I think I'm going to ride over to Hayfield, so I probably won't be there. Er, I'll see if I can think of any other options. Saucer of milk and some sardines maybe.
Oh, could people stop saying how slow they are, please. It's not an inverse race yer know.... The deal with these things is that they are prodigiously mellow. Unless you're actually going backwards, you won't be too slow ime...
I find it hard though BWD. I like food. Therefore riding past food is rather difficult.
Fab! I Just spotted this ...I'll do my best to be there. Might have Zoe with me too.

That was my point, I like food. Which is why I'd rather ride past. Rosie's is very pleasant though 🙂
i might turn up
could well be at my parents on sat night. might ride up from chinley station and then depart in the hope valley to return to the parents. is there a route plan?
ah, trains no good
what kind of tech level are we looking at?
my girlfriend is the sort of person who manages most of the Peak fine but walks down the beast so if there is a lot of similar tech then we might make other plans
