Waves to pants 😀
Look forward to seeing you again Cap'n!
i normally gatecrash rides 😆
do you know how many to expect on saturday? sounds like an epic turnout by the sounds of it!
i'll let c_g answer that - she's been getting loads of emails!
unlike me *walks away sobbing* 😥
shteve - from past experience, you can never tell with these things. The conditions are so good at the moment so gotta make the most of them!
yeah even the riding up north is good at the moment, looking forward to trying some new trails for once.
i'm not now coming, due to facebook bullying! 😡
yay - i was right!
RD - you better get yourself and your bike down to Swinley next Saturday. Auntie C-G will look after you ... especially if you're wearing velvet ... leopard print ... skinsuit, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Check out the FREE SLOE GIN offer on the Hip Flask thread!!!!
can you supply me some next week for my camelbak?! 😉
Way to go Aleigh!
But it's so far away from Wales and I'm Irish!
where are you in wales?
tankslapper - Quality riding with quality people 😀 Make a weekend of it!
Hey aleigh - tankslapper invited us to Wales didn't he? On the borders IIRC.
oh yeah
*whispers* i don't know wales very well, is he cardiff/swansea way?!
Nah, further north I reckon
well it will be a bit of a drive then i reckon
Think it's mid-Wales, Montgomery possibly? Lovely scenery though, and stone circles, and mountains, and rain.
I would really like to come to keep the weezy slow people company, but I don't want to jinx it as I have had to pull out before due to illness. However I have been feeling much better and may even try a commute to work next week.
curtis - see how you go. An option is always to ride one session, ie the morning, which will be a couple of hours then we return to the Cafe. So you're never far away to bail out if needs be. It's not a race!
The good thing is that there will be some locals riding so you can always be directed back to the centre, it's not a huge forest.
Can't wait! I am off the meds and my cough has almost stopped. I am gonna cancel my rugby next week as well, as this sounds much better!
Now just have to decide what to put in the hip flask.
aleigh - Memberi'll let c_g answer that - she's been getting loads of emails!
unlike me *walks away sobbing* 😥
That's cos she posted her email address up!
Stick your email address up and I'll bother you some if you so desire 😉
Oooooh, and you live in Swindon, not that far from me!
if you're that close you can pop in for a cuppa! 😆
C-G; Afraid i won't be able to make it 🙁
I've got tonnes of work to do for an exam a week later, and if my practice papers are anything to go by, I [b]need[/b] the work more than a ride!
Once jan's over though, I'll get a 'dirty Dorset weekend' on the go!
DrP
Hi DrP - sorry about yesterdays ride. Hopefully in the warmer weather etc...
I'll do my best to turn up. If my lungs stop hurting and producing green gelly men 😉
BTW I've been off the bike for 5 weeks now, will it kill me?
not at all - i didn't go out on mine for a good month until a week or so ago and i did better than normal 😆
Since there's in excess of a hundred people turning up for this ride, someone's bound to forget something or have a mechanical. Therefore I think it's best if I tell you about Bracknell Cycles, which will be open all day should you need anything - just 2 miles away down the A322. Yes, you can borrow any tools you need, or a pump, and yes, I've got loads of spares in stock, tubes, mechs and disc pads should anyone run out. There may even be tea, if I'm not too busy. I'm there all day, hence I can't make the ride, so say hi to the trails from me. Cheers, Giler. 😀
Reluctant - I will bring some Sloe Gin for you 😉
that's if there's any left after you've filled up my camelbak! 😉
Thanks WCA! Aleigh, is it a 3 litre Camel? If you're too drunk to drive home there's always cardboard boxes at the back of the shop! 😕
It is actually! Thanks for the kind offer - do you have any bubble wrap that I could use for a pillow?! 😆
aleigh - Memberif you're that close you can pop in for a cuppa! 😆
Just the other side of Cheltenham.
The question is do you make a good enough cuppa? 😉
Of course I do......after all I am a woman 😉
After all you're a woman?
Honestly, you'd be surprised. Have heard stories of mugs full of cold water with a tea bag in being microwaved by some women! One ex GF of mine was so inept in the kitchen, the only thing she knew how to cook for herself was Cheese on Toast!
Well I can safely say I can make a good cuppa with a tea bag along with hot water (from a kettle!) OR from a teapot. 😀 I can also make a mean coffee although when I have one it usually gives me a bit of a buzz........which I guess means it's too strong - oh well, I like it! 😆
i luv cheese on toast, number of your ex please mboy?
rocketdog, you're welcome to her mate! Though in fairness, I wouldn't wish her on my worst enemy. Madder than a box of frogs!
i love frogs.........er
Back on topic
Aleigh, what's your email address? I've spoken to Cinnamon Girl via email about the ride, I'd like to come, it's just a question of finding any mates to come along too really. Unless you know other people in my area that might be going that I could catch a lift with.
My email address is in my profile. If it doesn't work or you can't see it I'll post it on here. 🙂
Is there anybody going who'll be driving down A316? It'd be nicer to fetch a lift than a train from [url= http://www.hmprisonservice.gov.uk/prisoninformation/locateaprison/prison.asp?id=364,15,2,15,364,0 ]Feltham[/url].
