A few of us from South Manchester get out at the weekends: Ladybower, Hayfield, Llandegla, Lee/Cragg quarries being the usual jaunts.
Keep an eye on here, there are often "Peaks Pootle" rides from Roman Lakes (near Marple, about 25 mins from central Manc on the train) and there's a fair contingent of mostly normal people in that sort of area:
NBT, Bunnyhop, BadlyWiredDog, sambob, richpips. Me.
Oh and Hora but he doesn't fit the "mostly normal" description... 😉
Gotya! Thanks peeps (still have that pepper spray to hand you know!)
Just got back from Rivington and only met one other MTB - and only a handful of walkers - bliss for a change !!!
Need to get up earlier! - was out sunday at 9 and saw very few (much better when falling off)! Know what it's like with work - shout out when you're back, i'll have pootle with ya!
No probs will look forward to it
With the river thames.
Ah, that'd explain her lesbish tendencies. She's part of a coxless four.
Healy nab ain`t a million miles away either...good for short sharp climbs.

Thank-you! Where is that? Got a few trail guide books from some-one at work today but Healy Nab isn't in any of them. Maybe i should just ruddy google it eh?! 😕
OOOOOOOOOOOOh! Thank-you again! 😀
Healey Nab is lots of fun.
Well after my first ride with folk i didn't know off this forum i'd heartily recommend it!
Nice pub at the end too 😀

Thursday nights are even better at that pub, Ask MartynS and Naranjada 😆
Ha I doubt the girlfriend would be very impressed if I wobbled home on the bike and left the car in Marple.
It's an idea though 😀
Did I imagine that somewhere on this list there's mention of a Ramsbottom Brewery Ride on Sunday?
Hi, Solarpowered, by the way... give me a shout if you want to go round Lee Quarry and want company - I live in Todmorden and ride in the area with a couple of other girls (and boys* sometimes too). *They probably think of themselves as rugged manly blokes though.
Yea , I mentioned the brewery ride, it won't be on this weekend due to bike problems with one of the guys but I may well be riding somewhere local if anybody wants
I'm aiming to get out on Sunday - stockpiling the rain gear. Where are you riding?
Hi ya Clover!
Doubt if i'll do any outings on sun as out tomorrow to hayfield - not sure if i'm gonna be fit enough to keep up!
If i do though will just be the usual jaunt to clifton then along the canal to ringley. Must admit i doubt i'll go out then, what with house/pets to sort out.
would love to meet another time if not this sun though???!
p.s - am sure i could be convinced though....... house work v bike ride/ house work v bike ride.... what would you do??? 😉

Everything has a time and place, but you can put the lights on to clean

Ah yes, refreshing new logic that has never been discovered in the solarpowered house before!(i do like CLEAN!)
I bless thee... Thank-you xx
Save your cleaning until you get back from a ride, you can then have a mammoth clean starting with your bike. First rule of mtbing forsake all else to get out and ride.
Hey Solar, just a quick word:
Me (& the Mrs) have been out for a ride with quite a few of the people who've responded to this thread.
They've all been great & the rides have been fun & really friendly.
Don't be worried, just dive in and enjoy yourself. 😀
Hey Solar,
Deleted your number by accident when I was binning of a MUA number a few weeks both of you have the first name DOH
I'm free 7-14th October if you fancy meet up and ride either local (8 miler I do Roe Green/Worsley/Boothstown not very techy but local) or further a field just drop me a line 🙂
