Giving it a miss. MTL first thing this morning, City this afternoon and New Mills bonfire this evening, I don't think I'll see Sunday a.m.
I might bump into you all part way round if you're still out. I'll probably go over to Mellor Cross to get my legs loosened up again.
Cant make it sorry for late notice missed two in a rowas my wife thinks its OK to go to Bucharest for 10 days ....Fine for rest of year mucho points banked though.
**** me, they are dropping like nine pins.............
bit of mud n rain never did no one any harm.......... 😉
I'm coming just hope I can find the start point! 🙄
(I've no idea what lies beyond Hayfield in the Peak)

Great ride, cheers for the company everybody. Knackered now, off to the pub for food before we fall asleep! Some pics uploading, they'll be here shortly...

Cheers guys, that was ace - great to put names to new faces or maybe the other way round. And to catch up with some old faces too. Some I even remember the names for... Lovely ride, good company, what more could you ask for? Oh, yeah, caramel-coloured sheep 🙂
Great ride, thanks everyone. Cake at the end being the highlight!
Great ride, weather, company and of course cakes! Cheers guys and gals for a spot on day out.
not a chance i would have made it out of the car park, think i have a chest infection rather than just a cold now as my lungs feel tired and useless today.
Gutted. Looks like a brilliant day out. Were the steps on the path from the shooting hut ?
Great riding round there.
Evenin all - yep, thanks again one and all - great ride out, new faces, new places and cake!
I did want to pull the 'book of excuses' out once or twice today and look for the short road home but made it round and so glad I did - by 'eck though, I'll sleep well tonight 😀
Were the steps on the path from the shooting hut ?
Arrh, they certainly were. Cheers everyone, really enjoyed the ride.

Yep me, Conor and nbt are slumped in front of the telly.
Great weather,
good company, and fantastic cake.
See you all soon for another one.
Cheers everyone that was a really great day. Enjoyed meeting new faces not that I'll be much good with names! The ride had all the right ingredients (much like the cakes) great route, excellent organisation, good company, a mid ride pub stop and cakes too. Fab! (and some good photos too!) 😀
Gutted.
Me too 😥 looks like you had a great day - certainly better than last week!!
We'll do another (properly organised and scheduled) one in summer for those who missed out.
I was pushing a little too hard to stay towards the front of the group so I could fulfil my guiding duties, it caught up with me when we got home (nowt to do with three pints and a huge plate of food), I was in bed at 8.30....
I was in bed at 8.30....
Lightweight - some of us made it to 8.45 before hitting the hay 😉
(following 2 pints of girly lager and a chinese!)
Just washed my gear - first time ever I have use the 'pre-wash' button 😯 - note to self - don't forget crud catchers next time.....
Next job, clean the bike, pack, then off to the Dales 😀
Thanks again for organising and have fun on the 'Saddleworth Ride' recce next week
Are there anymore photos from anyone?
19 of us at the start, however one poor chap had to head home because he forgot his shoes. How often have we all made that mistake. 😳
Thank you NBT and Bunnyhop and everyone else that made yesterdays ride a fantastic day. I can't believe i've got such great routes on my doorstep that i didn't know about. i'll be wearing out the middle moor track next weekend! Great company and great cake as well.Thank you. (I was on the black and white trek fuel ex)
You are welcome. Remember to sign up for the [url= http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/SouthManchesterMassive/?yguid=393272380 ]South Manchester Massive[/url], not all the rides are that local but there are a few and we could even end up hijacking the group and organising rides in the south of Manchester...

Had a great time, thanks everybody, lovely to meet you all. (esp nbt and Bunnyhop for the fab hospitality!). I'm glad I didn't take anybody out on any of the descents. I told nbt there was a reason why I should always go first...
I honestly can't remember many names-faces but look forward to another ride some time next year.
