[Closed] TJ Rivvington ride Sat 13 th

ta NBT! It was the final bit I was not sure about.

turning up in Hope minus a front wheel

Wot tyres? 🙂 Is it going to be boggy? rocky?

It's degenerated into a What tyres thread!!! 😆
Not as boggy as I'd expected up there last night and junky' route is not a boggy one anyway by the look of it.
Only rocky bit is the ICR and thats more like loose stones/boulders than "rocky" as in a big lump of rock.

what's the fixation on asking what tyres to use? I use those ones made from rubber usually. is there some other material that I haven't heard of?

I do swap 'em about depending - light xc tyres are good for dry and distances but tend to pinch flat and wash out in mud, DH tyres in various guises (wet / dry) for rocky stuff but awful draggy

is the ICR like The Beast in the Peak?

junkyard - you email me your phone number? ta

No idea this is the ICR

Would it be alright if I tag along. Will be coming from Leigh

please do - open to all, social ride pace, anyone trying too hard will be laughed at

certainly looks like fun. +1 for seeing the Tandem go down there!

I was hoping to bump into you lot whilst masquerading as someone training for the 3 Peaks cx but now I will have to work instead. B*st*rd.

anyone trying too hard will be laughed at

sounds like an excuse to go slow?

Highclimber - I have plenty of excuses. Just getting warmed up. I have put big slow heavy tyres on teh bike. Probably the wrong ones for the conditions - thats two excuses there already

I have put big slow heavy tyres on teh(sp) bike

are they those new fangled rubber ones I mentioned earlier? they're really good they are!

TJ, i'll be running a supertacky 2.35" highroller front and 60a 2.35" minion DH rear (since that's what i always have on!) on my stiffee for saturday, so there you go!
i'm also planning on speeding up a bit so i can keep binners company at the rear of the ride...

really looking forward to this. tomorrow, i shall be making blueberry choc chip brownies and possibly triple ginger cookies if i have time, for post-ride sharing.

Can I have dibs on one of those ginger cookies??

Edit: for the record, i'll be sporting a semi bald conti speed king 2.3 and a vertical 2.3 front and rear respectively

^^^^ A slight change of plan from me, chocolate fudge brownies,cheddar with spring onion, walnut and mustard cookie type things, and if I get time maybe a carrot cake. 😛

*rubs tum*

I will do a carrot cake, an upside down pineapple cake and either some scones, some blueberry muffins or some chocolate muffins depending on which I prefer when I am baking.

Are there any picnic tables at base camp ? 😛

Eh?! The STW massive doing a ride around Rivi,I'll invite myself along 😀
Be good to meet some of the people from the forum,there's no wierd initiation stuff or owt eh?

Might see if I can make it for a quick burnup for 11 am tomoz 😀

Me and the young 'un will tag along if that's ok. Don't know anyone except TJ and have absolutely no idea where I'm going either as yet but will sort it out tonight.
