[#364682]

A few people expressed an interest in a Rivi ride on last weeks Grizedale trip...

So was thinking of meeting up at the Barn about 9.30ish on the 29th for a good run out. Cafe half way round... be about 25 miles ish taking in Rivi and Darwen. RELAXED PACE.

I'll even chuck in 3 of the best descents in the area.

Anyone interested in a meet up ? Be nice to put some faces to names.

Oh wow, I'd love to come on this ride, as I'm just moving up there (all the way from New Mills/Kinder area), but am already booked on a little trip away that weekend.

I'll keep my eye out for future rides, as I'm really keen to learn the trails around Rivi and Darwen.

We might come along for this, if that's OK. Depends on some other stuff but we'd definitely be interested.

There's some great trails round there but I'd never be able to find them on my own!

Now we have a few weeks to let 'her in doors' know, and the fact that it's only 10 mins away means yes i'll be there.

And no bailing out yoshimi, unless we can all go to yours for a brew!

I'll try to be there but will have been doing Scotland a few days before too so might be a bit knackered to bother.

Vortex, how's your mates summer season?

That is indeed showing off Wors :lol:. I would be completely snookered if I had to ride there and home again after.

I should at this stage point out that some of the ride will be cheeky. You have been warned. ❗

Sounds good, I'll hopefully be there but theres a boys outing pencilled in for "end of march" so I may be either
A. Very hungover
or
B. So hungover as to be absent
🙂

Don't go upsetting people or someone will end up flouncing off into the sunset.

Who dear? Me dear? how very dare you sfb!

mild mysoginism I guess, we're all coupled up now and many have children too so we don't get out very often - u know how it is.

remarkably easily, actually...

and many have children too so we don't get out very often

at the time I'd much rather have been messing about with my kids than boozing with a load of blokes 🙂

Oh, and [b]lowey[/b], stop smoking you muppet!!
