Hi
As Deejay is on his hols he asked me to post a roll call thread.
I know the original thread has been bumped today but I thought I would try to get everybody in one place.
Please only post if you are definitely coming so we can get an idea of numbers.
We are 4 (at least)from Darlo
Cheers
Steve
both of us.
I will be there!
I will be travelling from Bradford and could fit another person in the car. Although you will have to be prepared to take off wheels etc to fit two bikes in the car.
Email - lukeellis@laver.co.uk
Me and my brother will be there. Will see if I can persuade the wife to get some baking done 😀
I'll be there.
Where are we meeting Steve ?
lowey - Member
Where are we meeting Steve ?
Carpark at the top of Sutton Bank IIRC.
Oh, and I'll be there..
Count me in or am I one of your four?
3 of us will be there.
Vortex - you must have been working hard earning the brownie points . . .
MrsF - any chance you can bring your Juliana? - Jacqui needs to drool 😆 Oh - and how many candles do we need for the birthday cake?
me 2 will be there..... 8)
I want to come too - but I'm working. And my wife is doing the York 10k run so I have the little one and even if I wasn't working I couldn't make it.
I'm off to sulk now.
Not really Deejay, I just run a tight 1950's household

and BTW I won't be wearing the waistcoat on Sunday
I'm going to print off this thread and post it through your door on Sunday morning 😆
don't you dare
I thought all STW men had the same level of authority in their families/housholds?

this looks more likely 😯
is that me........... 😯
it's murder trying to get a camelbak on with that bloody key sticking out
🙂
will be there sporting battle scars and all that.
Pineapple upside down cake and chocolate cake seeing as you asked
I'll be there, if I can get my front wheel straight.
I'll attempt some baking/caking too (can't promise it'll be any good though)

Anybody unsure of where we are meeting just click on lowey's link above - 9.30 meet for a 10 start - don't forget, plenty of food and drink required as there is not much scope for topping up.
whats the route like Deejay?
a bit like the Dales ride or more Rocky like the Peaks/Lakes?
Hp e-mail me can lend a wheel if you want a QR one.
eh Johnny how's that face doing of yours, healed yet?
Yes I can bring the Juliana if that is requested. We need 34 candles for the cake (it's going to be a chocolate and orange cake). Hope everyone can sing in tune!
whats the route like Deejay?
Not much in the way of rocky stuff - peaty single track with moorland grouse trails linking it up - apparently its rained a fair bit over here the last week but most of it should be ok - mind you the vegetation was fairly lush a month ago so it might be of jungle proportions now!

We need 34 candles for the cake
so we know the STW age but what is the real age?
Vortex scarred up nicely/badly you will see on Sunday
🙂 That's his real age. Of course feel free to tell him how much older he looks!
Pictures look fantastic! Weather looks OK for Sunday too.
Would love to come but my post-op knee is only up to 2 hr moderate trail centre riding at the mo.
Being a user of old skool maps, is there anyway of getting the tracklog onto a map...
..for free?
Good luck
Paul
MrsF - apparently while I have been away Jacqui has purchased so please choose your bike to suit you
Only 34 candles? - I do love riding with you young people!!! 😀
With that piccy, the bike choice may be a secondary thing, what strimmer/Flymo to take is the top priority.
Ok cheers for letting me know DeeJay.
What has she purchased?
What has she purchased?
An anthem team frame I'm told, at a bargain price - I might not be able to keep up with her anymore!
I'm in tho' I doubt the views will match yesterday's outing

Ooh nice DJ.
nice pic fizzer!
The cake is in the oven.
Can anyone tell me what signpost I should look for when leaving Thirsk please?
Is it signed Sutton Bank from there?
Also, does anyone coming from Clitheroe area want to car share?
Fizzer, just follow signs for the A170, and it is signed Sutton Bank.
I'd normally offer you a lift ( I'm in Accrington) but I have to go back via me Mums in Easingwold...
Sorry.
Other half has just stuck a carrot cake in the oven, not sure it will last until tomorrow though 😈
ok, strange ask, does anyone that's coming along have any spare nipples 😆 preferably of the spoke/wheel type, 15 gauge... I appear to have found the source of my wheel wobble!!
If not then I'll be calling on the spare wheel offers!
Cheers
Keith
Does anyone who's coming carry either matches or a lighter with them?
Next random question: is it hardtail country or full suss territory?
And yes I think I have some matches in the camping box, will confirm after trip to attic.
I'm bringing my full suss but only because there are small block 8s on the Voodoo and I can't be arsed to change them, so either fs or ht will be fine.
If you have candle-lighting equipment that will be great, I don't need to stop at a shop then 🙂
Hmmm Racing Ralphs on the H/T - we expecting gloop then?
hp source will bring both nipples and wheel but have lost my spoke key.
QR i(or bolt through if have HOPE kit) and what size rotor...please say 180mm or you can change it at scene
Mrs F will bring a lighter but trust me you dont want me to sign.
Anyone else need anything?
EDIT: Fizzer your e-mail is not in profile so e-mail me please
Johnnie, I'm not asking you to sign I'm asking you to sing 😉
fizzer, given that's it's been raining pretty much solidly for the last week I'm expecting a lot of wet!
Junkyard - YGM and profile updated
we expecting gloop then?
I am hoping not, however it has rained quite a bit this last week and most of last night and this morning - generally the trails are OK but there are sure to be patches of gloop but I don't think they will be long sections.
Yes that to then 😳
"fizzer, given that's it's been raining pretty much solidly for the last week I'm expecting a lot of wet!"
last week spent riding full suss in the French/Swiss sunshine:D so maybe it's time for the H/T in the Yorkshire rain:cry:
Junkyard: Cheers, It is a 180mm rotor! woohoo, thanks, I've got a spoke key too, so I think we might have success one way or another. Excellent.
On the cake front, Rocky Road, now chilling in the fridge 😛
oh sh1t cakes runs off to do some now
We have to have one of these STW rides every month, just to work off the cake from the one before!!!
With the amount that everyone is baking, you are going to put Mr Kipling out of business.
matches confirmed
I "may" have something to light the candles.
Really fancy coming but a seized caliper sort of putting a dampner on things. Might turn up on the cross bike. Any idea how long you expect to be out for?
Ben
seized caliper front or rear may as well bring a brake as well.
Avid Juicy any good?
E-mail me if you want me to bring one.
6 + hours due to the social nature of the ride , odd mechanical and obligatory serious injury.
Thanks for the offer of the brake but i will pass thanks.
Hope to make it but cant be sure.
Sorry we had to bail 🙁 I hope there was enough cake to go round without my contribution.
Sorry i couldnt even start the ride, small matter of keys locked in the car! 😳 How was it?
Wet, muddy, some big climbs and a fair mileage. Absolutely loved it to bits a great day out. My first ride on the North Yorks Moors most certainly won't be my last. That kind of terrain is why I ride a mountain bike.
Big thanks to Dave for leading and to everyone for making me so welcome as the newbie of the group.
Just cleaned the bike and I reckon half the NY Moors is lying in my drive, the rest is in the shower basin!
Graham
PS how did you get into the car?
fizzer, which one were you mate..........
Fast guy at the front, bike weighed nothing 😛
S-works hardtail, Metallica riding top.
Which one were you Ton?
lightweight pushing bike???? 😉
little bloke on the 29r 😆
Thanks to all for being patient and waiting ages for me to catch up.. 😳
Had a great day.. Now seriously hanging out my arse and making a weird "slooshing" noise when I walk on account of drinking loads... 😳
thanks again Deejay on a fine route..

The blind descents were amusing to
