[Closed] Ramsbottom Turbine Ride #2 Photo's.

I like both the huge erection pictures. A man of many talents Mr BFO

Nice pictures, especially that hansone fellow in the red glasses ;), Mr Jones

Thanks all 😳 just need to brush up on the navigational skills now. ( best keep that bit to ourselves eh Andy ?) 😉

Sorry I missed this, looks like you all had a good ride.
Realised I recognised nearly everyone on the bikes and Adam and Andrew with their kiddies.

Walking up the tower climb I have only ridden it once and I set off from Chorley 😀
Sorry I missed it but I was also on children duties.

Thanks all just need to brush up on the navigational skills now. ( best keep that bit to ourselves eh Andy ?)

Nice pics. Although the camera doesn't quite show the true gradient of the climb up to Peel Tower. It was a slog but it warmed my legs through nicely!

Really good riding round there.

Please let me know if the linky works as I can't access it from here to confirm 😉
If not, I'll post 'em somewhere else tonight.

Special thanks to Graeme for the culinary delights 😀

Ian S (Blue Rockhopper and first victim of Steps of DOOOOM)

I'm the good looking chap in the Weyland Yutani T shirt in pictures 2 and 3.

We should do this or something similar every month or so.

I have a signed and stamped pass for October 1st if anyone fancies it. DS already has a route in mind.

nope cant get access Ian 🙁

OK, ta Craig, will sort that tonight.

Shame I couldn't join you. Looks good. And you certainly got away with the weatehr.

The girls enjoyed Graeme's chocolate brownies afterwords though. Despite not strictly having earned them

I'm up for an October 1st run Harry. I've got a potential route in mind. Need to do a reccie though as its new stuff I've not ridden before

The people of Ramsbottom (in the Morrison's area at least) seemed to appreciate our presence on Saturday. Fifteen or so mountain bikers drew smiles and questions. One lady said "it's nice to see you all out together." Not everybody hates us then!

1st October sounds great.

I shall be in the general area of Drumlanrig that weekend so it's a no show for me, sorry .
😕

1st October could be a goer

Greame, we should try and do it every few weeks.

I'm sure there will be a HtN ride over the Christmas period in Prestwich as has become the tradition. Not as much climbing as Rammy but plenty of steps and general doom.

1st October is Snowdon day.
Sorry, I'll be in Wales all weekend.

HTS, every couple of weeks works for me, I'll up production of BFO'S and Lancs Bhajis .

😀

I'm thinking of re-opening the Flapjack mine for October 1st.

I'll get the girls to return the favour and bake some cakes for you all. I hope you like pink icing and lots of sprinkly stuff.

Careful - I can see this evolving into a piss up at the brewery with tons of baked goodies & no riding 😆

this is a decent route http://www.bogtrotters.org/route/showrouteframe2.php?route=320

If this will be a reccie ride then me and the wife may take part (if she has the day off work).

"Reccie Ride"... which one?

The HtN will take in all of the track to be used in the February event plus some extras*.

*Perhaps. Depends on weather, time, mood of punters etc.

Where are these steps of DOOM?

Second attempt to link to album:

Hopefully working now.

Ian - still can't see them. I can see the thumbnails but not full size. Perhaps you have to be your friend on FB to view them?

I can view them now

Posting another link. A bit better quality that those on FB.
