Pencil me in!

First link doesn’t work; I keep getting redirected. This forum software is pants so I haven’t worked out how to copy and paste.

Don’t forget car park is pay and display!!

I’d come if I had a fat bike.

Is that on a beach, on a plateau, or is it going downhill?

yea, if your coming by car/van then try and get to the carpark before 8.30 to avoid the £4.00 parking (unless you are a National trust member) 🙂

Ooh – a good excuse for fish and chips at Freshfield station!

only IF your buying 😉 Lol

its getting closer good people, Who’s coming then? 🙂

Disappointed, I was all excited at the prospect of a ride at Cape Wrath… 🙂

That chippy is quite good not sure if open of a sunday though…. Trails are looking good at the moment

Since when does the Liverpool/Manchester area count as NW UK? It’s not even NW Englandshire. I was hoping it would be something like Arisaig/Mallaig area

I wish you hadn’t done that. The link shows Roger ??? who SWMBO won’t let on our telly!

I’m in.  Cheers

Nice one, see you there 🙂

Soon be Saturday, anyone else coming for Global Fatbike day?

Obviously us 🙂

First parking bay? Google Streetview shows a tea van there.

I’ll be about on my Gravel bike,give us a shout if you see me.

I’m going into a disused Welsh slate mine, and don’t have a gravel bike so I’ll miss the “fun”.

Far too far south for me.  That’s only just above the equator, isn’t it..?

North West UK?  Formby?  Are you sure?

parking bay on the right Bob 🙂

By chance I’m in Formby this weekend anyway. My tyres are too skinny to join in, but I’ll be walking the pup down there as per normal, so will give you all a wave.

If we’re thinking the same ‘parking bay on the right’ then there’s often horse boxes parked up and horses coming and going from there of a weekend morning so, without wishing to patronise, be nice! 🙂

And 9am you say? Looks like you timed that well …

Maybe I’m being slow and have missed it; what’s the plan apart from meeting at the car park for 9am? Different activities, a group ride until [when], or just meet up and work it out on the day?

group ride up to a nice cycling cafe in Ainsdale, social pace, woodland trail and some beach riding 🙂

Ped, pop over and say Hi 🙂

Just had a thought – TIDES!

Checked and high tide on Saturday morning is 0530, phew!

Yep, too far south. I think I’ll go for one in the proper north 😉

Bothy Bikes. 9:00.

Or is that still too far South?

Great stuff, see ya Friday eve then Eh 😉

see you all in the morning Fatties 😉 i’ll be there from tea time today (campervan)

See you in the morning. Looks like the weather will take a little longer to clear than the earlier forecast predicted.

i Never believe the forecast at Formby until im in it Bob, see ya tomorra pal 🙂

Pug at lbs unfortunately, rear wheel issues 🤬, so cant join you chaps tomorrow.

Have a good one and hope to join you next time something is organised.

Looking good Fatties! Bonus kudos to the bloke rocking shorts on a ****’ miserable morning.

Hope you had a good ride.

*Like*

It wasn’t too bad in the woods.

Then having spent an hour or so in the cafe it had cleared up for the return back along the beach to the car park.

A good day out, we’ve not ridden at Formby before, thanks to Lawmanmx for organising and leading us round the place.

Good day despite all the mechanicles 😁👍

Good ride. Cheers all & thankyou Lawmanmx for org & guide.

Pleasure Simon 👍 we’ll have do do it all again in the early new year pal 😉
