Following on from last weeks 'where to live in Manchester' thread, and the conclusion reached. Namely that the way to gauge the civility of the area in which to live is to establish the standard of the local kebab house.
To this end, the South Manchester Massive will be heading out for a Wednesday evening ride. Just a social really. A jaunt down the Mersey, possibly out to Reddish Vale. And almost certainly involving a mid-route beer stop. But.... and this is the important bit.... finishing at the Turkish Delight. The finest kebab house in the country, to sample their wares.
Everyone welcome. Riding, beer and kebabs - whats not to like?
I should probably add that we will be starting from Jacksons Boat in Sale at 7.30
We'll be bringing a gaggle of riders
Hmm. Étape training. Or a singlespeed, beer and kebabs.
Decisions.
Jeepers you've probo chosen the worst section of the Trans Pennine trial (Sale to Stockport, the path is full of bricks and sand...'orrible!! Some nice little twiddly bits in Reddish Vale/Woodbank park tho 😉
But that's nowhere near the world's greatest kebab shop, and would misee the point really..... 😉
mmmmmm kebaaaaaabs.... mmmmmmmmm
Sale to Stockport, the path is full of bricks and sand...'orrible
some of the riding between the start point and reddish vale may not be actually *along* the TPT, more kind of diving off to the side here and there through nice twisty singletrack. Oh yes, and horrible prickly bushes.
can't make wednesday sorry Binners 🙁
i'm 50/50 for this, just because i don't do beer or kebabs plus i'd have to ride it on a silly freeride bike. but i'd like to make it though, not been on a ride with the SMM cabal for ages...
I thought Abdul's was the best palce to get a bab in Manchester 😉
Sounds excellent. Unfortunately, as you'll have seen in the "Where to live" thread I don't live in Manchester yet. Fancy another one around early October?
Fancy another one around early October?
Yep. I will have got over myself and my road bike fitness activities by then. And should have bought a light for night time dogger illuminating....
Abdul's? ABDUL'S?!!! Wash your mouth out. The king sized mixed Kebab from the Turkish Delight is one of the wonders of the world
xherbivorex - can't you have a russian salad and some fizzy pop? 🙂
the falafel there is pretty good actually... not quite as good as panico's, but i could always sit across the road on my own throwing stuff at you lot!
They also do Halummi cheese in pita bread - we could defend ourselves with that?
Abduls = student food!!!!!!!!!!
the chargrilled goats cheese is pretty good too. and comes in handy throwable sizes
MMMMMMMM fresh falafel in pitta. Almost worth having a veggie meal
We could maybe organise a bike joust using kebab sticks. Panicos vs Turkish Delight. Bring it on.
Went to a Palestinian place in Edgeware/London on Friday evening. Stunning food. Lots of fresh mint (like a bloody mini-tree across the food!).
Thanks for that contribution Hora. Now **** off!
Wheres the kiss at the end of your message? 😕
You'll get it tomorrow if you turn up.
Good opportunity to test your gears on the 5 hora!
binners and hora - get a room (or at least find a secluded spot near Jackson's Scrote).
Potentially. Depends if I ride tonight (anyone fancy Calderdale ride tonight?)
Great night out folks - ride report and few photos here: [url] http://twistedwheels.myfreeforum.org/King_Sized_Mixed_CC_Inaugural_Rideout_about847.html [/url]
Is Turkish Delight on Barlow Moor Road ?
Yep that's the one
An absolute belter of a run last night chaps.So successful in fact that I feel it'd be frightfully bad form not to make it a regular feature of the social season. Henley? Cowes Week? Wimbledon? The Turkish Delight Kebab and Beer Run? 🙂
I've got some photos to upload to the site later
Would be tempted as its only 5 mins from where I work. Getting home would be a problem though.
Those Kebabs on Snowslaves site do look ****in nice though.
lowey - one bite of a Turkish Delight kebab and you'll be addicted mate. It's inevitable....
Is it open at lunchtimes? I'm sat here hungry and just seen those pictures. Now even hungrier.
Called in there on the way back from Manchester on Sat night - Kingsize Mixed with a starter portion of halloumi split between two. We live next door to a pub so I nipped in for a take-away pint to wash it down while the wife plated it up. Not a bad end to a good night out.
CHeers for a solid evening jaunt, was a pleasure to meet you all.
The ride back into town was only a tad sketchy without a kebab to soak up the booze - i'll just have to remedy that next time 🙂
