Anyone fancy a spin round the “Scenes” route from issue 51?
Expect 2 hours of dirty fun followed by a pint in the pub or a brew back at mine*
Meet at 8:30pm in Fairfax Road car park, Prestwich .
* subject to numbers, how muddy we are, me wanting to let a load of strangers into my back garden.
I'll be there.
noooo.. Got to visit a mate in hospital on Wednesday night.. Gutted.. Looks fun..

I'll be there.
Autographing cleavages, kissing babies and posing for photos with the Ragley Ti?
I can do. I can also kiss cleavages and autograph babies if that's what 'the kids' want.
Whats the route?
route will be Hurst Wood/Nob End/Philips Park - that kind of thing. Not so much a route rather a make-it-up-as-we-go-along-depending-on-recent-weather kinda thing.
Prestwich - Philips Park - Waterdale - Hurst Woods - Outwood - Canal - Nob End - Prestolee - Clifton - 13 Arches - Prestwich
Or a variation of.
If we feeling really adventurous we'll do the Not Quite Calderdale Steps of Peril.
I'm in, but the only cleavage I've got is my bum cleavage. Will you still kiss it?
No?
actually, wednesday is the one night of the week we can't do, It's pub quiz night. Next time you do it on another night though....
Bump for the evening shift. Any takers?
hehe 'Nob End' hehe How childish am i...
I may be up for that 🙂 will let you know.

Do you go down the track that runs down the old locks? If so take some shears with you and cut back them brambles!
Terrahawk can go down it first. His scorching speed has an effect on the undergrowth similar to napalm.
Hi lads, saw the article in the magazine, looks great fun. Would love to join you on a ride sometime - can't do this Weds unfortunately. What are the tracks you go on like? Would my bike like it? It's a Scott Sportster hybrid job...see the link
Cheers

That'll be alright. There is so much variety that you can pick and choose.
Possibly another two here...
If we do manage to join in, we'll be riding in from the Bolton (Nob End end) so maybe meet up on-route rather than try to find the Fairfax rd car park....maybe join in around Phillips Park or Prestwich Clough Park or Clough Lane...any suggestions?
I don't know what time we'll get there. The route/timing varies depending on mud conditions, and Nob End is about 2/3 of the way round. Why not blat down Sustrans 6 and meet us in Waterdale/Philips Park at the clough gate next to the fishing lodge and the climb into the park?
We'll be there at around 8:40. I'll post a map with an arrow on it when I get to work.
A (crap) map.

Thanks. I think I know where that spot is... hopefully we'll be there.
By the new green painted metal gate.
Wear a pink carnation.
I already am.
Are you joining us Mr S?
I think so, on condition that you return the compliment some time.
Its compliments that you want is it?
You have nice shoes.
Oh no I'm washing my hair otherwise would be there.
Really though, I'd be worried about holding all you speedy boys up.
if I had know it was this kind of meeting in the woods I would have been [b]up[/b] for it 😉
Bit late for me sadly but tempting
I'm very old & slow but I won't get lost bringing up the rear, everybodys 2 hour rides take me three.... mate will keep up though.
It'll be reet. Nobody will get left behind (unlike last time 😳 )
Bring beer money. If the weather is nice we'll finish up in the boozer.
Good run last night lads. Dusty trails eh, who'd have thought it?
My arms are still fizzing after going round "Itchy & Scratchy" though.
Yep... enjoyed it... sorry to hold you back though fellas... My aches ache.
when you fellas next head out any chance you could post it up here? passed me by altogether but i'd fancy it next time.. cheers
Mof, you didn't hold anyone back. I can't move my head properly after all of those tree-strikes. Time to find my helmet mounted light I think.
Joe123456789, we're out quite a lot. Keep your eyes peeled for the next one.
good man
mate will keep up though.
indeed he did.
Was good fun that, good to meet some new faces. My arms and legs are cut to bloody ribbons today though. I'll have to get out there with the Agent Orange.
Or some snippy things.
Yep was a good un,i`m up for it again despite looking like i have self harm issues. Might take some shears down the locks friday.
