[Closed] STW Northern Chapter Rivvy ride Sun 28th march

Blimey Charlie.....Compared to last weeks ride it's practically on my doorstep!!

Unfortunately I'm doing the Whinlatter challenge the weekend before. Leaving the lovely Mrs Gruff with the kids two sundays on the bounce might be seen as extracting the urine.

On the other hand I do have nearly 4 weeks to build up the brownie points...........[i]heads into the kitchen to put the kettle on[/i]

Will definitely be on this, seeing as it's 5 minutes away. It's my birthday weekend. 😛

I'll expect a flood of applications that day to ride on my land.

Count me in big boy.

Are you getting the ICR in this time ?

This one's practically in Ireland. Can the next be in the proper Dales plz, I'm thinking specifically Swaledalish.

Room for a fat lad?

san marino to mast climb is a must i think....its only a mile!!!

In the diary.

must remember bike and cake, bike and cake, bike and cake, bike and cake, bike and cake, bike and cake, bike and cake, bike and cake, bike and cake.... ok, got it!

As above... Far better as a decent surely?? 😐

It is quite a good technical climb, but yeah definitely better coming down.

Would like to turn up as well just have to see what races are on that weekend 😳

Hi
Dont think the Darlo lot will be out for this but will keep it in mind.

Tinribs-Me and Deejay have a Swaledale route in mind for May

Cheers
Steve

That is just down the road from me. Baby is due a few days before so not sure if I'll be getting out though. I have the Cheshire cat marked in my diary for that day, but I'm certain I won't be doing that now! 🙂

well yeh could do it as a decent..there is a nice little track to the right just before the mast,could maybe come up that..will have a chat wi nick!

San marino is in and so is the ice cream run. 😀

pretty safe to say i will be attending................ 8)

IF
I think I can do the ride then nip to the Liverpool airport to pick the wife up at 2pm

IF

the MTL the previous week hasn't killed me or my bike

I'll be there.

Definately up for this as i've ridden Rivi in dark on nightrides, so will be good to do it in daylight. Not done a ride out before with STW, anything i need to do/bring (apart from cakes!)?

Sense of humour 🙂

We could take in Peel and Darwen tower as well.

Another Chorley resident here - will try and make it.

Any chance of real Northern one?

Shall give it a go, seeing as I'm only in Belmont! However, given my major lack of riding, I suspect I may have to bow out before the full 25, but will know my way home easily enough...

San Marino- which is that one? Never heard of it before!

hora, San Marino is also called "Wrights Arms" downhill, long fast with water bars from the back of the mast to a small woods near the A666.

Will try and get to this after having been on a swaledale one last year which deejay led and was superb, been a bit crazy since then with work, moving and bike being pinched.

I'll be along, and i'm sure Luke will join me

Most ppl call it the Belmont Descent. and it leads to the A675.

Ah! Its good to know the different names that people use 🙂

San Marino actually sounds better...racier...

Lowey your right, A675, to many Orangebooms tonite. I can get up it in under 10 mins though 8)

[edit] kingkong, sub 10 in current condition? it's pretty cut up.

Burp!

I can get up it in under 10 mins though

Pah.... walked the ****in dog up it today in 5 mins. 😛

you 'doggin' up Rivvy again Lowey 😆

Been off the bike for 4 weeks now so fitness/health wise it's looking like I'll have to miss this.
If a miracle happens I'll be there.

Hi guys would anyone mind if a young female joins you? I've been to the area before and think i can manage it.

Hi guys would anyone mind if a young female joins you

Now, let me think what this lot's answer is going to be to that request 🙄

Everyones welcome to these rides

As long as you have a working bike, dont mind the odd long climb, technical rocky decent, and have a sense of humour, you'll be fine.

I've often turned up on my own, and made a lot of good friends.

The pace is social, and we only go as fast as the slowest rider.

The route is coming on nicely. i've been for a wander today and all is looking good, just hope it doesn't rain too much before hand.

@donk: wildeswood will be ridden in an upwards fashion.

@jellybaby: the more the merrier.

I'm excusing myself from flapjack duty cause i've got a 5mile ride to the start and i'm bollox'd if i'm doing it with a tin of flapjack under my arm.

wildeswood will be ridden in an upwards fashion

Just to let you know from yesterday's experience. San Remo/Belmont descent has some rather interesting knew whopping-gert-big holes in it from all the snow. Which makes it even more interesting. Hurray for erosion!!! 🙂

up wildeswood heresy I tell thee.

See you there will make some flapjacks as well

So i'm a heretic(?) oh well that's life
i'm going to ride the route on saturday so if anyone want's to join me mail me.
