we should name it 'Tons comeback ride' 😆

Is johnny on cake duty?

Dave, it is ok for now, and for good i hope mate.
Good news, now you have a years worth of miles to make up 😉
bump for the morning crowd..
Dave, and i am gonna give it a very good shot at making the miles back up mate.. 😀
My birthday!
will try and wangle it but it is my weekend with the kids
Yes I know about the light will pull my figer out and get it collected after all it is dark now.
I'm in 😛 I'll fire up the Lacashire Bhaji Oven on the Saturday. 😉
more cake competition!
reckon i'll be there too.
I'm working. 😕
Will try and book the baby sitter, but I'm 90% there!
Who's leading us ?

graham amd mart are leading us round mate.
graham amd mart are leading us round mate.
I'll bring a map.
Yup, I'll travel up for this one...
nice one nick..........have a word with steve makin, try and get him up for the day.
Will do Tony.. 😀
I'm with him tomorrow, so will ask then.
Better see what's happening at work and home. Eeee that's proper oop North!
I'll try and make it Tony. Weekend after I'm getting battered, I mean night riding at Dalby so getting a pass might be a problem. I'll do some persuading!
I'll bring a map.
no need i am confident those two can find a pub for you without a map
Was up there this morning and it was wet, miserable and muddy ..... Was fun 🙂
A working day for me 😥 - have fun.
dave, i was gonna email you to check, but i dont have your email addy now.
and i did not think to look in your profile on here.......doh
Would be great, but i'm on holiday that week 🙁
Drop me a note when you want to go out nightriding Tony.
I'm in! There's no way I'm missing graeme's Lancashire bhaji's! Might even rustle up something myself!
Me and the wife may be up for this one (Not taking the Boy anywhere that weekend).
Any advice welcome.
PS anyone got directions form Leigh
Count me in as I couldn't make the "cheer Ton up ride" in August
>anyone got directions form Leigh
You;ll need to drive, not much in the way of trains near Lee quarry
Long as I've got the new bike built by then, I'd be up for that. Not been to either Lee or Cragg yet.
Up at Crag quarry this afternoon, very wet and windy but not muddy, will try to make it
I'm going to try and make it to this one. Just to check though, do I need a bike with a chain, or can I do without?
Thanks nbt
bikes with chains are much better - be fair on this one my freewheel broke - Oddly the next time i did the high st with lowey my rear mech broke and i had to take the chain off anyway - the gods mock me ...denies cack handedness
How many k's are you planning on covering?
these rides are usually no more that 20/25 miles mate.
but they are steady and no one gets left behind, cos i ride at the back kicking people up the bum to keep em going...... 😉
Is this still on Ton?
As Ton's ticker has gone wonky again are people still interested in doing this - if so I will happily lead it
Given the time of year it will probably wind up as a sort of mirror image turbine ride with both (or maybe more)quarries as part of it
G
Anyone??
Yes, we're intending to come up - Mrs NBT and me
I'm still in. If it's going to be sort of a Turbine ride, are we still starting from the same place, or in Ramsbottom near the Brewery ? ( just a thought ! )
Start at the same place ie futures park to go through the quarries and upto the tops from this side may venture to rammy depending on time
would be nice to go from the brewery (can do a ride from there in the future if people want even tho its been done a couple of times) but we can retire to my local afterwards which is pretty good on the beer front
G
i'm tempted though I have a poor accident/visit ratio which has put me off going in the past!
i thought the point of the ride though was that it was the routes *around* the quarries, rather than the quarries themselves?
