Da STW Cotswold Massiv in da house – Sun 14th Feb, set phasers on pootle

AKA the 'Lonely Losers Valentine's Ride'

Wheels roll at 10:30 from the Quarry Car Park, Cleeve Hill (stick 51.942816,-2.016807 in the search on Google Maps).

Bring a bike, a sense of humour, a hip flask (optional), a snack, and a sad tale of lost love.

Bugger that would be perfect but my soon to be ex-wife is moving out that weekend (how appropriate??)

Choices, choices, Cotswold massive ride or Forest of Dean.. 😕

AKA the 'Lonely Losers Valentine's Ride'

Haha, would suit me down to the ground! 😉

In Cardiff though this weekend, and possibly riding either Afan or Cwm Carn as a result… Have fun!

Bummer, we're heading to the place where they all ride like mincers, aka The North 😉 Maybe Peaks!

There's a chance this might move to Saturday. Watch this space!

Oh FFS son make your mind up!!

I am in either day.

Even mincing about which day you mince on now FFS

Alright, alright calm down

It's SUNDAY. Sheesh.

Tuesday morning bump

I'll be there, I think i can make all five requirements!

Lunchtime bump

Anybody driving up from Bristol and have a space? Would be my first STW ride!

whats the route IHN?

whats the route IHN?

Er, we'll start from the carpark, ride around the hill for a bit, maybe head over to Guiting Woods, maybe come back via Hawling and Syde, maybe ride around the top of the hill for a bit more before coming back to the car park. It's all a bit unplanned fluid

Why, are you wondering where to park the mid-ride snack van? 😉

well it had crossed my mind….sadly i no longer live on painswick beacon. still nailsworth isnt so far…not a def here but ill see what i can do! i need to ride also!

Aarrrrgggghhhh no can do, I'll be keepin the motoring public safe! 😈

i can do saturday, maybe not sunday – any news on which day?

So it is sat or sunday?

I may be massively overbiked for this until get my lightweight hardtail built up 🙂

Perfect opportunity to test the new old 456(if it is finished; some of the components are costing more than a fiver which isnt in the spirit of the build)

If Mrs Dancake has forgotton it is V-day then ill try to hot foot it to cleeve

As I said up there ^

It's SUNDAY. Sheesh

Sheesh 😉

There's a chance this might move to Saturday. Watch this space!
