I'm plucking up the courage to go and join the local roadie club for a ride on Saturday ... am expecting to have my arse wooped and be temporarily broken after riding with the boys ...

Easy twenty mile off road ride with my wife tomorrow with some bike parts shopping thrown in. 100k Peak road ride Sunday morning and then off to the Stadium of the Gods to watch City work their magic.
Working this weekend, lunchtime starts, so hoping to squeeze in an hour or two's road biking on Saturday and Sunday morning. Gotta milk this New Year-New start enthusiasm for all it's worth before it disappears in the inevitable blaze of crisps and apathy.
25 miler round Rivington and darwen Tower on Sunday for me.
Enjoy your riding, everyone.
I'm off to the minor injuries unit tomorrow morning after Monday's misjudgment on Snowdon. Thought the knee was just bruised, but it's hurting more every day. 🙁
Stainburn this aft then watching David Knight smash Dougy Lampkin and co into the weeds at an enduro near Leeds on Sunday. Anyone who's in the area should go. Tenner in and it's a reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeight do. (Trans. for southerners: It's jolly spiffing)
i've entered my first cat4 criterium tomorrow at hillingdon 😐
New wheels fitted so out on the MTB on Sunday for an early and hopefully long ride. Not quite sure where but Im holding out for some sun, dry trails and a roast on my return.
on the road bike tomorrow because as tazzy says im a poof and dont fancy a muddy bottom
was spose to be going out tomorrow for a ride round the local loop with my brother but he's just laughed me off and as its my 40th birthday on sunday decided to have a weekend off(getting VERY drunk instead) 😀 8)
Road ride for 2-3 hours on Saturday morning and, if my LBS can fix my rear wheel, I'll be riding my Soul on the North Downs on Sunday.
Sat - chasing roadies down Conwy Valley.
Sun - Chasing trolleys round supermarket carpark.
Which is sadder or weirder I don't know!
[i] Gotta milk this New Year-New start enthusiasm for all it's worth before it disappears in the inevitable blaze of crisps and apathy.[/i]
Oh, I totally agree!
Only out on Sunday this weekend. Meeting OW off here for a local blast and swap cheeky bits.
Kev - punctures fixed so I've got no excuse now!
Cannock on Sunday morning for me!
time to properly venture to unknown territory Sue. If they are dead fast we'll just duck into the nearest cake shop 🙂
Sat - 3 hours around clent, Churchill
Sun - 1hour 30min specific zone session on Terry turbo
Quick hour or so round some roads I reckon. Haven't got time/money to drive anywhere again.
taking my armbands, snorkel and new ring for a pounding in abrasive swamp that is the chase without a half fat as in the current wet rooty hell, it's a bit...erm..........****shite
you still come and play with boys pop, jimbo, tomsk, picto are out as well so it'll be a relaxed pace at the back
Early sunday on surrey north downs, maybe leith, no wind hopefully.
Nuffin. Ill. Bah.
Lie in til 8.30am then a solo 100km steady on the road on my todd.
tazzy- sorry matey the boys at the back will have to do without my wheezing as ive just finished shaving my legs for a road sesh 😉
ive just finished shaving my legs for a road sesh

Road ride you say pop? 9.30 from mammoth with the tri boys, steady 30 miler?
Hmmmm is the racing fuzz stripe faster?
Woburn for a bit tomorrow, then family meal on sunday so no riding then.
picto- thai boys you say- Im in!!
Off out to mugdoch tomorrow for a blast, most likely around the main paths as it's probably like a swap out there, going to head out about 2 or 3 and give the lights a spin! 🙂
Sue w - it has been a struggle at times. hope the rest of the month is kinder too me
Mugdock will be a quagmire but that'll make it even more fun in the dark! Have fun seosamh77!
Hmmmm is the racing fuzz stripe faster?

Stead 40 miles with the road club on Saturday morning then a fast 40 with the "animals" from the road club on Sunday.
hmm. pondering the cx/tourer/roadie build for not much money i've worked out, probably ss on the local ( 35mins away ) hill tomorrow, and probably doing similar stuff sunday too. all followed by beers, with nephew's 21st tomorrow night. 8)
Not really sure yet- possibly Brechfa Raven again, possibly a mooch about in the Beacons somewhere using Sarn Helen.
Pop, with your reputation.
That has to be the longest 4 day week ever.
No riding this week but off the Alps skiing. Yippee!
oi picto 09:00 start tomorrow, bring the hipflask
Had planned Cannock and Llandegla, but instead I think we are going to have look for somewhere to live having been given notice 😯
Saturday;
Mud free coastal singletrack and then onto beach at low tide down to Dunbar with fellow fatty bike mates, visit Harbour and John Muirs House (Museum) then cafe for tea and cake 😉 then home at sunset for pics looking across to Edinburgh, forcast is clear and windy, ideal for a winters day on the coast, 🙂
Sunday;
Off to find some WW2 shells (20mm Hispano) on Sunday (MD on back of bike), hopefully all found will be unexploded 😯
Sat'day I will tow the bairn up leith hill in his chariot (good legs training) then Sunday will get out for a blast up pitch and winterfold, trying to spot some new trails on the latter.
oldgit - MemberLie in til 8.30am then a solo 100km steady on the road on my todd.
🙂 Love the way you casually bandy around figures like "8:30 lie-in" and "solo 100km".
If that was me I'd have a thread started when I got home boasting about how superhuman I was because I got up before 8:30 and rode 100km.
Off to Macc Forest tomorrow morning, quick 2 hour loop including the descent down to Three Shires Head (after the long slog up to The Cat and Fiddle).
Bikes all washed and lubed, ready to get abso****inglutely covered in sh!t again!!
must say Coastkid, those fatbike coastal rides always sound ace!
Llandegla with a couple of friends, rainbow route as the trees are down,
sunday up over the mountains heading toward llangollen , probably be blown all over 😀 then stripping my bike to sell it 🙁
A final few laps of Ashton court/Leigh woods with little bro before he abandons me for India - I'm gonna need to find me some new bike buddies...
Mountain biking till I am pooped today. Road ride to a friends to plan LEJOG then rode back about 50 miles.
Rides 7&8 of 2012. 9 &10 planned for Monday!
all weekend riding sabotaged by new XT brakes front calliper seal failure pissing hydraulic fluid all over front pads.....only 4 months old.......an increasingly common problem apparently..... 👿 Surf/weather conditions looking promising in North Devon for Sunday so may have to switch to the water code....not all bad!
Heading down the coast into coastkid territory 🙂 Nice westerly wind so its a ride to north bewick and train back - taking a newbie friend of ours with us.
