On one of Pook's pootles. You and nbt were sat at the top of Bradwell edge and Chris introduced us.
I think so 🙂
I'm pretty sure we've spoken at some point but not ridden
a long time ago -- monksie's farewell ride in the peaks (somewhere) - I'm not exactly sure of the route..
You should be honoured, very rarely, even now, do I venture south of the border for a ride 🙂
Nope
I don't think so.
I'm sure I recognise a couple of the faces from Dez's photo though!
plumber - I think we have ridden, maybe you were on a pink OnOne inbred, I'm not sure.
DezB - I recognise Rob.
Lying in bed on valentines night thinking of other stw’ers?! 😯
Anyway, not me
Several times! 👋🏻

Andy, Somarich (now NZ based), Aleigh (whateverhappenedto?), Rich Penny (pretty sure!), unknown! and singletrackmind. (and my old 575 trying to insert itself into STM's backside)
and the chilterns weekender
Was that the one we lost about 3 people in the first KM? 🙂
@badlywireddog - I think you were on one of the rides I was on with Jane/Julian. We were taking photos of some quality mincing over a stream somewhere. Can't find them now.
Long time ago, I may be confusing that with the time you were a) testing the theory you could get potassium poisoning from eating too many bananas and/or b) swapping your stem half way round a ride 🙂
You've even kept my wife company on a ride!
Yes, back in the days of the South Manchester Massive, along with NBT, Binners, Hora, XherbivoreX etc
*I never actually saw Hora with a bike
Have I ridden with you?
Ooh no. You wouldn't like it. Me neither I expect.
Alex - that was in the Peak District on Middle Moor. Quite gnarly steps descending into a stream, then a quick up to get out. Yes BWD was there. We rode the field of Doom.
Never knowingly ridden with any Stw’r, but being from Hudds have prob bumped into some over the years. I used to ponder about doing MNPRs but then they do say never meet your heroes 😀
Plenty of times on the Pootles! Damn,I miss those days!

Was that the much hyped photo ride, the one where someone ended up crashing like dog on the small ford above Rowarth? But yes, I remember that one. NBT took a nice snap of me riding down the steps into the stream on Middle Moor. It made me look almost competent 🙂
It was not the much hyped photo ride where Sheldon (Tollah) crashed, I don't think Alex made that one - it was the C1XV weekender in the Edale YHA where we rode (as far as I can tell from photos I've found) out over Rushup edge to Hayfield, over Middle Moor and back down Jacob's Ladder. August '04 in fact (Photo ride was Aug '12). I'll post some pics later of the C1XV weekender later. PIcs of the photo ride here

Yes at the TJ ride many moons ago, I was there with my teenage son.
IIRC we met Binners on a road bike and then went to the pub.
Me? Where was that? My memory is appalling I’m afraid. 😲
*waves* several times over the years...
Blimey. You all look like Normal People.
i get the carpark thing quite often. once in Laggan wolftrax carpark, by a very nice lady and gent.

Blimey that's a long way from home. 😉
We once bumped into an STWer in the café of an RSPB reserve outside Leeds while we were out for a day birdwatching
Jules, was the STWer a tall handsome kind of a bloke........ ;0}
Yes, plenty times! It's been too long since we did actually.
Hope you and NBT are doing OK 🙂

I think so, a very well attended Peaks Pootle about 10 years ago, mustered at Edale car park, debrief at The Rambler.
Yup.
Waves to Ton.
At Laggan I think you were leaving and we were arriving.
Mr Sparkle - I think you were on one the few 'practise' hit the North rides. (bombholetastic).
