rusty - will be good to see you and DrP again. Any chance of persuading Mulletus?
c_g - the best chance of persuading Mulletus will be if we meet you in the car park for a chat and then bugger off for a road ride
Is there tarmac involved? Can I wear lycra?
I've been given a pass but will need to know if there's a skills course available before? I seem to have forgotten what this thing they call mountain biking is!!! 🙂 😕
@Mulletboy - At least our proper bikes won't get dirty if the mtb's come out 🙂 Entered beach to beach yet?
*Goes away to find a word to describe Phil, for arranging all this, something like awesome, but more awesome, awesommer, or awesomerer, but a real life proper word*
I'll enter the Beach to Beach this week.
Entries for Magnificat opens on 05/12 too.
Bring DrP for medical emergencies.
There's only so much I can solve with me bolt gun....
I know Swinley reasonably well, I can 'do' a fast group if such a thing is required.
ahh nickc...... what an excellent offer, looking at the growing numbers that might be needed if we separate into groups, would prob be wise to get the whippets with mph on the brain together 🙂
Will there be an SS division?
Ooh I so hope so... 🙂
STWers gather in the Lookout car park prior to the ride:

I can try out my new winter helmet too; lack of vents means a cosy warm bonce.

Did one of them lose his jacket and have to borrow his mums?
Ein Hundert! 😀
Is Flashy going to be there?
Did one of them lose his jacket and have to borrow his mums?
No that's the Suede Bumming Jacket.
TSY; Flashy doesn't actually exist; he is the alter-ego of Ernie Lynch.
Who himself is a fiction of my imagination.................
TSY - do you wear leather driving gloves? To go with the suede jacket obviously.
The Captain doesn't exist. No man would refuse to lead a ride with 3 gorgeous STW girlies!
Ha funny you should say that C_G it was so frickin cold in Birmingham today I almost went and bought some! Unfortunately nowhere had any tan ones so looked awful with the jacket!
Elfinsafety - MemberOh no not him as well...
Oh thats nice isn't it. 🙄 Well if [i]anyone else[/i] wants a cup of tea in the car park come to the Silver Sprinter campervayn 😀

Mojito?
You mock, I wore my skiing helmet today , and my head was well hot.
This ride is going to snowball into another 40 + riders on the day, weather permiting .
Wonder if the we need 3 groups?
TSY - black deerskin ones, nothing else will do. 😉
No that's the Suede Bumming Jacket.
Will people be more dissapointed if I don't turn up, or if I turn up without the jacket? Provided I'm not the figmant of someone else's imagination that is...
They sound like a super none-Xmas present, thanks.
looks like the vayn has some new sponsors...... 😆
Elfinsafety - Membervayn
Heh heh!
Vayn!
Reminiscances of you last "Taxi" ride Elf?
Pete Mojitos the night before if you & Jackie want?
Very kind, I'll get back to you by email.
Ooh it's been a while since I was last in a police vayn. Well, a couple of years actually.
One time, I managed to get the cuffs off while in the back of one, and nonchalently handed them to the copper as I got out at the station. 🙂 His sergeant wasn't happy.
They tend to like using the most speed-bumpy route, and driving really fast over them. Ah, such jolly japes...
i am still a little proud of my opening post on this thread, is that sad?
a little, yes 😉
You rightly should be...
You are Mark Ingram, you're deserving of the chest bump, and proud laughter...
haha, think its the general formatting, and amount of stuff i copied and pasted from various posts over 2 threads then edited it down that give me that warm "look at my beautiful post" feeling. nearly threw in a photo of a cat on an invisible bike with a badly spelt caption but figured that would be too fantastic
[i]You mock, I wore my skiing helmet today , and my head was well hot[/i]
WTF were you doing? Bit of nice windsurfing?
Btw can we all [b]Forget[/b] about the suede jackets for the next week? Possibly? Please?
No Dez, you have to wear yours....grrrrrr!!!
Dez is that an explicit instruction [i]not[/i] to go [s]get my favourite dry cleaned[/s] trawling charity shops especially for the occasion? How else will you recognise me?
I'll probably be up for this too. Been meaning to get a guided ride around Swinley for a while.
Singletrackmind, I've got a set of Pikes that I'm looking to get rid of...
Hopefully I should be able to get there for this one, would be good to meet some of you guys and girls.
He hee! Looks like this is turning into a get together of the loosely-named Soft Southern Shandy Drinkers once again..... It's been a while, guys! 🙂
One person missing though, a certain Frenchman.... Come back Juan, all is forgiven! 😉 😀
soft? shandy?
i drink razor blades and nails i'm so 'ard!
as this groups getting bigger and bigger, i'm looking for volunteers to lead a group towards the labyrinth and safely back using sexy singletrack, and people happy to chill at the back of their group and act as a sweeper 🙂
also, anybody with OS or gps maps showing routes/singletrack that might help me hash together a rough route so we all end up in the same places in order to laugh at northeners and the poor (as we do), i'd really appreciate it if you could send me an email 🙂
as we say in the south... wurd to your mums x
Okay, pretending for a minute that I'm going to ride with the fast group... how fast is [i]fast[/i]? And will there still be cognac?
I volunteer to keep the women in the cafe company and heckle cold riders after their rides. Heck, i'll even lead the 'cant be arsed to ride' group.
Went for a burn yesterday and it was a more than a little chilly, think I might be wearing my suede thermal underwear.
Watch out riding over those frozen puddles phil old chap, I have come a cropper doing that and it ain't pretty! I would love to come and stay the night but I am going to be busy as hell on the Saturday (did I mention I am going to be buying a new FS bike!!!!!!) so I will have to find a way to let you down gently, I figured a stroke of my suede thermals might be enough to placate you.
Looks like this is going to be a considerable gathering, will be lovely to put some faces to names. Do we stick with our forum names to avoid confusion? I will be changing my name to Master Wangmaster if so, let me know.
I can bring Sloe Gin
phil - have just e-mailed you.
consider me let down gently 🙂
i think i'm going to put sandwich bags over my toes on sunday
Another Soft Southern Shandy Drinker reporting for duty!
