I promise to bring cake and I promise not to eat it the night before or in the car before I get there (err)
That's why I always buy two
That's why I always buy two
Driving alone is soo dull. I'd just eat both 😆
okay, never mind not falling off, massive bruises on my hips from landing on the drive, and bruises on my knees from where the bike fell on me 🙁 will persevere, but if I decide they aren't for me, I will have some very slightly used Scott comps shoes for sale 😛 Skiprat, that'd be good, will make sure I have enough pocket money by then. might have a job at the lbs soon too 😀 😀 wages will be spent on bike parts anyway 😆
Keep at it sambob. I fell off loads in my first few months of riding with spds.
Great news about your new job, it won't be long before the F.S. dream comes true. 🙂
i might pop down to the cricket pitch this weekend to practice 😯 its not a job yet, but it may be, hopefully not too far into the future. ive changed my mind, i want a bmx then a sovereign or a blue pig or something like that, fs is too high maintenance for my liking ;)or perhaps im just lazy

have i missed anyone?
Won't hora be busy?
It has just clicked with me that the 27th is when I'm doing my charity bike maintenance class. So I won't be coming, sorry. Shame really as it's a good route.
And the average speed of the ride should double without me there. 🙁
(.....but the average speed downhill will halve??..... ;-)....)
Won't hora be busy?
Hopefully not.
Back on the bike for the first time today (after breaking my wrist), it was difficult riding on the road with it. I'm hoping I might be OK by next weekend, but I'm not optimistic 🙁
What bikes are people riding , i'm thinkin of using my kona cross bike.
becky_kirk43 how long has it been in plaster? Speak to your Doc. I broke my left wrist three times- its now overbuilt 😯
Ps. Anyone have a spare set of forks you can lend me? If not will run my borked Lyriks and send back after the weekend.
Yes, thats another set of RockShox's that have broken on me.
Well i'm defo out unless someones good with a sewink kit and i can gaffa tape my hand to the bars!!!

Hope to see you after if i can drive by then!!
Sambob, i'll get the forks to you one way or another, may send them over with our Paul.
konage - people will arrive on the full range of bikes. On every pootle so far there's been at least one crosser so you'll be fine, if a lot faster than the rest of us!
Chris - that fake tan is rubbish
O.k Pook will give it a go , should be entertainin for everyone else anyway .
Definitely NOT riding this weekend. I am working at a bike demo day down at Bedgebury.
another regular out!
:O
It means that I won't be able to give Tom a lift up either so you could be two riders down.
mister p is my usual chauffeur so if anyone from nottingham or who passes m1 j25 has a spare seat in return for petrol money id be very grateful 8)
Phew- Im still hot to trot (keeping my knackered Lyriks for the weekend/sending them off on Monday).
skiprat, keep them. sell them to someone who has the money for them, i wont for atleast a month im afraid, sorry about that. give me a bell if you still have them then though 🙂
pook, by mam tor descent do you mean down to hollins cross and down from there or is there a secret one i dont know about? wondering because i went up to hollins cross yesterday and it was absolutely horrible, really deep mud on all but the rocky bits.
Is it ok if I tag along? Coming from Notts so can collect slowrider on the way if necessary.
Its an open invite, anyone can join in
nice one carbis 😀

Sam - there's a drop from Mam Nick to Edale. Technical and fast, but I can guarantee someone will fall off!
Oh, you can probably count me in too! ...this sounds like something I could do (on my 33rd +1day birthday) 😀
Probably count me out, hopefully I'll be booking my Japan / NZ flights that morning
Okay... I've scanned up and down this thread, but am no wiser: when / where are we meeting? 🙂
^
I believe its Edale car park at 10am Sat 27th. please correct me if i'm wrong, Its somewhere on the thread about page 5!
sounds right to me. got some new flats today, same colour as my bike 😀
Slowrider, I have mailed the e-mail address in your profile so you can let me know where / when you want collecting for Saturday.
Paul

jamesgarbett I can't remember a time that I HAVENT started a ride with a hangover. Hateful things.

A girl in our office bought me a bottle of Jägermeister. She'd never tried it before so we had a shot each....at 7.30am 😕
