[Closed] Singletrackers you would like to have a beer with

I'd love to hear Geex tell some stories after a few pints.

😀

Is mcmoonter still about? Not seen any posts from him for ages.
Also Greybeard as I owe him at least a pint for solving my hot water issue via this very forum.
And WCA just because it's not to know exactly what's going to happen at any given moment

Piemonster, metalheart and iainc because that would signal a return to some normality.

At the moment I'd settle with anyone if it meant I had the option to go to a pub on a whim.

Stoner, trail_rat, molgips, WCA

This is like lining up to be picked for school football teams. Pick me, pick me!

I'll go with @rocketdog and his sentiment.

@scotroutes and @swavis et al, as it would mean I’m up in my most favourite place on Earth

Oh, I mean they’d be good company. Ahem

At the moment I’d settle with anyone if it meant I had the option to go to a pub on a whim.

Fair point.

I feel I owe TiRed a pint for his excellent work this last year, as well as be interesting to learn about his cycling past.

Bez would be nice to hear in person, has some well informed opinion on wider cycling.

Perchy just to see if he's as funny in real life 😄

Daffy - they know why.

Too many to mention,there are some absolute diamonds on here,but I have been told never to meet your Internet heroes, so will leave them at the altars of my imagination. 🙂 🙂

I've had a beer with Binners, and WCA, and a cup of tea with Stoner.

I'd have a beer with Perchy, but I think the sexual tension might make it a bit awkward.

FTFY

TiRed because I'd like to buy him a pint
Edukator because then I'd be in France and we could go skiing
Pook for the work he does

And

Marsdenman because i was looking through the old little photos and i miss him

I’d like to buy Gnusmas a drink. I’d settle for anyone though. Would be good to meet some of you reprobates in person. Then again as per fasthaggis, it might destroy my mental image of some of you.

Junkyard

Don't see have some serious brewers on here?

They'd be ideal to have a beer with

DesB, Chestrockwell and Waderider. They have all been rude to me over the years and I want to see if they are like it in real life. We will all either get along or if not we could take it outside and have one of those embarrassing middle age fights, get arrested and have to explain to our other halfs. STW night out - what could possibly go wrong.😁

Edit - rOcEtdOg would be a possibility - I’m sure I saw you (distinctive beard) in Arrow Valley last year but Micro was running in the other direction so couldn’t go over to speak.

I could barely sleep when he was doing his bike packing blogs. I’d like more stories.

That bloke (badger?) who threatened to sue people about the pic of him messing up a tubeless tyre.

I’d buy the mods a pint.

Gnusmas, just because.

Anyone who knows more about looking after a bike than me (eg anyone) so I could ask daft questions.

Think I’d go for sanny, scotroutes and roscoe, they were the last ones I had a beer with back in the summer, on a wee break to my fave riding places.

Surfmatt

but I have been told never to meet your Internet heroes, so will leave them at the altars of my imagination. 🙂 🙂

Yeah I don’t think some of em even ride.

I'd just like to be able to cycle out to a pub and have a beer with someone. Anyone would do, I'm not picky.

Seems like @nobeerinthefridge could use a pint...

He'd just bore you about being a teetotaler and put you off your beer.

I’d love to catch up again with Chris Hadaway (troute lights)

I met him a few of times the last to pick up the light he made for me.

The drink of choice Morehouses Blond Witch.

Is there anything better that leaning on a bar with a good beer and talking idle chat.

Happy Trails

I'm not really a pub goer but after this shit show I'll be going to one and having a nice contemplative solitary pint no chatting allowed.

It'd be interesting to meet a few of the Tweed valley neighbours though.

Seeing as we’ve had so much time on our hands and I’m really, really missing our Monday Night Pub Rides, I’ve devised my perfect STW pub outing, complete with venue

Ahem....

Firstly, it’s an open invitation. The more the merrier. Too many interesting people on here to restrict numbers. However, attendance will be compulsory for everyone who regularly chips in on both the politics and football threads. This will allow for peak STW grumpy, opinionated rambling.

Location: I get to show you all around my local trails in Rammy, where we’ll get some miles in at a social pace, then finish on the descent through Redisher Woods to finish at the Hare and Hounds in Holcombe Brook.

This venue ticks all the boxes: bike-friendly, massive beer garden, big selection of beers, crisps and nuts, Sky Sports.

Timing: ideally a Sunday where we can finish just as a couple of big footy games are about to kick off. Ideally one should be Man Yoo v the scousers. This will allow for maximum piss-taking and arguing

Actually.... once we’re back to normality, I’m going to organise this

Who’s in?

This is like lining up to be picked for school football teams. Pick me, pick me!

I was always the one left until last, seeing as I'm teetotal I'll assume that place again here as no-one ever invites Des along to the pub unless they need a lift home!

All of you!

Ahhhh 😇

I had a dram with scotroutes, can recommend!
I've always thought Northwind seemed a good chap, plus if he talks like he posts then I won't need to say much 🙂
Should have met up with nobeerinthefridge when I lived in Glasgow but I was busy having a baby.

Who’s in?

Spose 😒

Cougar, maccruiskeen and bearnecessities, all of whom are consistently funnier than I’ll ever be. They just don’t show off about it all the time.

I’d be a massive disappointment in real life....except to IHN obviously. He’d be well satisfied 😉

I’d take binners out for a 16” tandoori munchie box and a glass bottle of Irn Bru.

@NBT I was recently going through some drawers and found the order of service for Chris (marsdenman) funeral. I'd love another pint with him too.

*feels unloved*

I have actually met quite a few stwers for a beer or two. I guess once was enough
*sniffs*

Cougar, maccruiskeen and bearnecessities,

Now that would be good fun. Bear's the only forumite (who I didn't already know) who I've met in real life - he came out to a day at the racing at Manchester Velodrome with me and my mum. He's an absolute gent.

If its a pub the serves 'pies' that are really stew with a hat..... things could turn ugly.

Truly the stuff of dreams. As soon as we’re allowed I’ll have my people call your people...

I'd have a drink with you again @tjagain, I'd probably stretch to @Houns as well 😆

I don't think @houns would stretch you.

The STW High Command. A chance to shape policy and have a turn publishing the 500 Internal Server Error at random times.

have a turn publishing the 500 Internal Server Error at random times

I always thought that was the equivalent of the 'Back In 5 minutes' sign on the door that meant they were all either at the pub or the bookies.

I'm just going to stick to my actual pals. @swavis, @scotroutes, @tjagain (there you go Jeremy!) and I suppose @cynic-al.

I'd invite @houns but he'd get the fakes.

To be honest, at the moment I'd murder to go out clubbing and I doubt any of that lot would be up for it.

Truth be told, the vast majority of posters here come across as decent people who would be fun to have a chat with in person. But that said,

@Gnusmas because a night off from the kids is no bad thing.
