Pecket Well- the churned mud bit in the middle? I went down there this afternoon and that area has been flattened/repaired so should be fast for you hombres tomorrow.
erm.. its blowing like 70mph winds up here at the mo blue sky's and some sunshine though... 🙄
more importantly cakes baked and ready.
i've made cakes this time and flapjack.
Forecast for tomorrow is looking good so i hope to be there.
Ton - Very interested to have a quick go on the Ragleys if possible ?
Cheers.
- I knew there was a good reason we keep letting you come . . . .cakes baked and ready.
😉
count me out folks, bit of an off on Thursday, knee still resembling a strange shaped thing.
V pi$$ed off I cant make it, but am there in spirit.
steel4real -

i took a chunk out of my right knee at delamere today, gonna wait and see how it is in the morning. if i'm coming, i'll be there nice and early though...
Tony, is it that carpark pictured on the other thread we are all meeting?
I'm in. Where are we meeting?
Just gone to put my bike in the car and it's leaking brake fluid from the rear caliper, so I'm not going to make it after all. 🙄
hi,
bit late but does anybody have a bike my brother could borrow for tomorrow? as hes just got his working this afternoon and just got back with it fing and blinding and a sh@gged rear mech....
tom
I can lend him a rear mech +shifter but if he rides like you then NO 😆
Shimano or SRAM?
sram dunno if it was the mech or chain but hes running an 8spd setup new chain cables casset etc... but the mech was very slack and cought in the casset that screw was fully wound in (one that makes the mech pushaway from the frame) but it still got cought in it its quite hard to exsplain as i wasnt there...
**** me, they are dropping like flies........... 🙄
i might not be there cos i am fat........... 😉
ok will bring one off to check I can find it
i might not be there cos i am fat
i might not be there coz i'm short 🙁
ive found an x4 mech which works although he hasnt got a full spread of gears itl do for tomorrow he reckens he's a fitness freek so we can find out if he live up to it 😉
dunno where you guys are getting weather forcasts from but here 3miles from ogden... its too windy to ride a bike 🙄
Kramer - MemberJust gone to put my bike in the car and it's leaking brake fluid from the rear caliper, so I'm not going to make it after all.
I'll lend you the Roscoe if I'm coming. Still not sure yet, have had a dicky tummy all week and having had 24 hours without food, I need to wait to see how it all comes out, if you get my drift - so won't be making a decision on attendance until last minute. Mrs NBT has baked a few scones and is packing everything on the assumption that we will be going, I'm holding off until I'm certain, last thing I want is to be caught on the middle of a godforsken moor when my guts decide that I'm not well after all....
This is the Official Soft Southern Shandy Drinkers Meet - the real event is the Tweed Valley Meet. 😉
george, no it is not...
the official hard ba5tards weekend is the 4th/5th of december gt/inners weekend... 😉
I suspect that the weather for that one might be a bit kinder than it is for this weekend.
Have a good one, may see you lot as setting off from The Causeway Foot at 8.30 (need to be back before 13.00)
BBC says sunny and 10 mph it is windy everywhere today as I am about 60 miles away and it is very windy here
Will bring a X7 with me just in case.
cheers for the lights matt there proving to be very usefull riding back home in the pitch black at 7pm! used them everyday this week 😉
Right, fixed it I hope, count me in again.
keep all the excuses coming .....funny lol
im not riding because my rear tyre has only 38 psi in it. my brakes pads are 80% worn & there maybe more than one mucky puddle...unbelieveable.
i used to ride bikes as a kid with one brake a dodgy one at that.
and to think i was just setting off to join you lot...ill see you in hebden coming the other way on my own.
have a good ride the ones who are going
A very enjoyable day out - cheers Tony.
Enjoyed meeting everyone and the slice of coffee & walnut cake at the end - lovely !
Yeah cheers tony, great ride and some great folk! Need to get the recipe for that Coconut Mountain cake though...and Marcus if you fancy a ride round Norland in the near future drop me a mail at helliwell_b@yahoo.com
Tony a job very well done and thank you for your efforts they are appreciated.Was nice to meet everyone We seem to have missed the coffee&walnut cake but never mind.
Hope you all got back to your various parts of the country safely.Me and my son look forward to the next one.
The guy who lent someone a half sized track pump can you tell me the make and model as i think it was a right piece of kit.
Thanks
Cheers all, Mrs NBT and I had a cracking day out, I'll sleep well tonight I tell thee! I got 166 photos, many of which are rubbish or repetitive, but I'll post what's worth posting later on.
Oh and the mini track pump was mine, it's a topeak mountain morph.
Rockdodger
which one were you ❓
😥
im still pooped...
Me too. Had a great day thanks to everyone. I'll look forward to the next one I can make it to.
a mini track pump will probably have been a Topeak Mountain Morph - a great pump, and the one I use 🙂
49 eh ? Well done! Is that out-Barnesing me ?
Nice one Ton. Some pics to follow probably tomorrow of our derring do.
MMMMmmmm coffee and walnut cake i'm eating the last of it as i type. 8)
