Wanna lift?

i’ll drop you a text after i’ve got home and had my tea, but yes probably!

I’m in.

Probably no pub as work is starts too **** early

Just out of interest what do you wear to stop you freezing your feet in these conditions?

I’m going to try a merino sock, shoe & over shoe combination.

But if my feet get cold I will whine like a jet engine on a test bed.

Percy Pig novelty slippers. Haven’t failed me yet…

Wow Bregante – i thought that that was a stock image until i realised they were your legs! 😀

yesterday i had on tog24 liner socks, sealskinz and my regular skate shoes (with flat pedals obv). feet were toasty warm as it wasn’t actually that wet with it still all being frozen.

Currently self medicating with a dose of mtfu.

I bloody knew you’d been ogling my smooth, tanned calves ww! I feel so used.

😐

I was so mud-free after yesterday’s ride, I didn’t even need to change before going out for cocktails then on to the opera.

I’m presently horridly man-coldy, but am confident on the restorative powers of cheese toasties and hot vimto. No germs can survive the amount of Worcester sauce I put on a cheese toasty*

yesterday…

I’ve got a hurty knee. It really doesn’t like being below zero fro any length of time

today (#1)

I’ve finally succumbed to the kids and Mrs Binners colds

I’m presently horridly man-coldy

If i was a betting man…

MTFU Susan!

Already had a big dose of MTFU! I’m just trying to out-whine Doris before he starts on about his soggy feet

Already had a big dose of MTFU! There’s going to be chip butties!

MUUUUUUUUUUUUUM….. They’re bullying me again!

We’re out of paracetamol.

Well, that was an eventful trip home.

Left the pub and this lady collapses as i’m driving past on the bridge, car thermometer says -4, ugh. Headed back, 10 mins to persuade her that it’s a bit of a shit idea to sleep on the bridge and maybe I could help her up and get her home.

Another 15 mins to go the 400M to her house seeing as she can’t walk on her own, where her on bail (for battering her, no less), abusive partner is waiting for, despite the restraining order.

She can’t find her keys so a swift call to 101 and the boys in blue were on their way round. Even with me knee pads still on I didn’t fancy that barney.

Next Monday, i’m following our resident police officer out of the pub.

Nice work mate.

Enjoyable evening out.

Getting up this early for work however isn’t

Great ride last night really enjoyed it except for the one over the handlebars bit!!

Barry

Weirdly on Strava the ride route looks like a cock n balls, or perhaps a dancing banana.

Got a lovely big red swollen bruise on my chest. Now if only I could breathe in….

Really enjoyed that last night! Good numbers, good crack and good chips!

Probably the most number of OTB’s and mechanicals I’ve seen on a MNPR!

Thanks Binners!

Brilliant run last night folks. Great turnout for such a bitterly cold evening. Interstellar in the snow, and chip butties and beer to finish. What’s not to like? 😀

picktyors….

Can anyone feel their fingers enough to put a link in?

Chips with everything….

Did Manchester’s primary law enforcement agent require ‘modification’? 😀

Wife came back from work a bit upset so needed to stay at home. Sorry folks. Sounds like a good ride though 🙁

Ski gloves. Full of win.

That was one of the best MNPRs I’ve been on so far.

Some crap pictures which don’t really do it justice:

I think that was possibly the cleanest mountain bike ride I’ve ever been on. My kit was spotless, I had a hard time convincing the wife that I’d not just gone to the pub. Cheers all!

That was one of the best MNPRs I’ve been on so far.

here here!

Fantastic ride! Chips and no mud… still can’t quite believe it 🙂

As a testement to our resident bling-bike riding, spanner-wielder, and inner tube ninja (and apparently he’s also something to do with some mountain biking magazine) , are we getting him a t shirt printed chaps and chapesses? 😀

Dr Bunsen Honeydew?

so so glad i decided to get out on the ride instead of sitting at home; that was the best winter night ride i think i’ve ever had. despite missing out on interstellar by getting carried away following Jason!

Sorry guys, only just spotted this. Wish I’d known earlier then I could’ve, well, failed to join you cos I’m full of a cold and off work. Looks like you had a top night though.
